Hello!  I recently switched from RH 5 to 8.0.0.203.
I can not open the .chm files I generate. I get this message from MS

Any advise?

.chm files cannot be opened on a server; copy it to a location on your local machine.

Good luck,

Leon

Peter, I did the search as you suggested, but found nothing that matched my problem (perhaps because I'm none too bright ).
While there were plenty of somewhat similar articles, none addressed an inability to open chm and receive a windows message that simply states "can't open it."


This is just a single CHM, correct?

Right click it in Windows Explorer and select Properties. See if there is a check box about it being a downloaded file.
