Try this...

Call Shell("C:\WINDOWS\system32\winhlp32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winhelp.hlp", vbNormalFocus)

 

[pdx_man]

I've just used the Help File and Help Context ID from the properties of the form and controls. Input the location of the file in the Form's Help File property and the Help reference ID for each corresponding control.
