Link to topic in CHM file

[Vodyinoi]

Hello, all

The problem: I need to link to a specific topic within a CHM file, via URL, rather than directly to the CHM file itself and I am having no luck finding a means to do so. I have tried the suggested methods from the support/web but not come up with functional code.

Help?

Thanks,
V

Things have changed due to security concerns with CHM file scripts, but you used to do it <A HREF="ms-its:filename.chm::/topic.htm></A>

I haven't used that in years, see if it still works,

Unfortunately, that isn't working, either.

I have tried the following:

<a href="ms-its:filename.chm::/topic.htm></a>

For this, I receive "Page could not be displayed."

<a href="pathname\filename.chm"></a>

This tries to download the file to the machine.

Any use that I've tried with a ::/filename.htm on the end tends to give me page could not be displayed.

Thanks for anythoughts!

Is there any chance your CHM file is across a network? That would cause it to be unable to display the content.
