Question Accessing Microsoft HTML Help from a subform

[BrettM]

I have a custom help file which works beautifully from anywhere on my main form however any links to the help file from a subform stop at the home page of the help file. All the necessary Help Context IDs are set correctly - in fact the form calls the correct help pages if run as a stand alone.

What is it about subforms that is causing me this grief and is there a way around it?

What is the parent's and child's form names and the script you are trying to run?

Found my problem... and the solution.

Microsofts design for the HTML Help VBA routines all use screen.activeform however this does not access subforms. I now use screen.activecontrol and all works well.

Case closed.
