Any suggestion or solution to the following problem will be appreciated
immensely.
When the screen-level context-sensitive help topic is called from the
application, it opens without incident. When the Related Tasks button in the
help topic is clicked, an error message appears instead of the Topics Found
selection window. The error says 'Help could not read the current help file.
Make sure there are no errors on the disk, or if the file is on a network
server, that the server is active (163). Click OK in the error box, and a
topic that relates to the screen opens.
When the Related Tasks button does work and the Topics Found window opens as
it should, then I click the Display button in the Topics Found window, and
the same error scenario occurs.
