How are you running the sub? For me XL2000 and Mozilla FireFox, it gets the
focus.

Hello --

We display the HTML help file using

ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink _
Address:="c:\TAHelp.htm"

It opens a browser window containing the file, but the browser loses
focus,
so the user has to click the browser icon in the tray to give it focus.

Is there a parameter to set to open the browser and give it the focus?

I am thinking of vbMaximizedFocus in a Shell command which has this
effect.

From a broader perspective, is FollowHyperlink the best way to open a Help
file?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Larry Mehl
