Run Winhelp under XP from function

[Andrea Corradi]

Hello,

I write this code for start Winhelp from a function:

HelpPath = set("directory")+"\"
run( true, "winhelp "+HelpPath+"Gestioneallevamento.hlp" )



Winhelp starts but it doesn't find the help file.

With the same path and F1 it run correctly.

DBase Plus b1034

Thanks
Andrea

Andrea,

It works for me. Try this:

? "winhelp "+HelpPath+"Gestioneallevamento.hlp"

to see exactly what you entire command contains. Perhaps there is a
space in the path name. If so, it will need to be enclosed in quotes.
