Hi Doug,

Buried very deep in the HTML Help Workshop help file is the following way to call the help program and specifiy the tab you wish...

start your search with "API reference, HtmlHelp"

HH_DISPLAY_INDEX command
Selects the Index tab in the Navigation pane of the HTML Help Viewer and searches for the keyword specified in the dwData parameter.

Example API Call
HtmlHelp(
         hwnd,
         "cat.chm",
         HH_DISPLAY_INDEX,
         (DWORD)"meow") ;

Return value
The handle (hwnd) of the help window.

If you work out the details please let us know

Thanks


>I've been through MSDN and can't seem to find out how to display an HTML Help file with the Index or Search tabs selected. The VFP menu has choices to display its own help with either of these tabs selected using the _mst_msdni and _mst_msdns bars, but that doesn't help me.
