Thanks Sergey,

I knew you'd know... Now the kicker... We were hoping to do this based on a "restricted-user"... ie: no installation or registry issues. Is there another bypass?

I even tried a simple ShellExecute, and CAN get that to load the help file, but ShellExecute WONT allow is to pass the specific Topic ID of help to advance too... unless that too is a special parameter setting. I tried doing in ShellExecute with a parameer of "123", "ID 123", "TOPIC ID 123", "HELP ID 123", etc as the parameter requires a string value passed to it.

Similarly... is there a way to use fonts directly that are not "Registered" via a restricted user-- such as Bar-code 39 font.

Thanks
