>>Hi,

>>I have a place in the program where, when user makes a wrong selection, a Messagebox() pops up. But the message in the Messagebox() is somewhat short. So, I would like "refer" the user - if he/she wants to learn more - to a page in the application Help.chm file. I know how to do it with a button on a form.

Koen,
Yes, in theory I can compress the "message" I need to relate to the user and put it all in a MESSSAGEBOX().
Cesar's FoxyDialog is much more elegant and looks professional. And it can, hopefully, allow the user to get the CHM help topic with a long description (which the customer will never read :)
Be well.
