Try:

loIE = CREATEOBJECT("InternetExplorer.Application")
loIE.Navigate("yourHtmlFile")

Or look for WinExec or ShellExecute (message #1106922 ).

Maybe you can to consider other way to provide graphic help. Take a look at in:
- Microsoft HTML Help Workshop (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp)
