Default Invoking Help File

I must be missing the obvious! In a VB6 app, I want to invoke a custom HELP file from a MDIform Menu item. The custom Help file is set as the default Help file in the app.

<F1> invokes the HELP file, but I cannot figure out how to have a MDIform menu item invoke it. I must be brain-dead this morning...

Help...

Mike

Default

set the App.Helpfile property to name of your help file, and the form/controls HelpContextID to the ID of the related topic
