How to link to a Topic's Bookmark from code

Our developers program in Visual Objects, and when creating the F1 link between our applications and my CHM files, use the topic's htm file number (e.g. 1234.htm) to call the CHM file and open the appropriate topic.

Is it possible for them to call the CHM file, open the appropriate topic and then scroll to a given bookmark within that topic?

If this is possible, any ideas as to what the syntax might be?

Try using 1234.htm#bookmark.

Thanks. This was my original thought too, but didn't work - opens the topic ok, but doesn't scroll down to

the bookmark. Has this worked for you?

It has worked for lots of people. Bit of a longshot but I was doing some work with Dreamweaver and had the same problem until I moved the bookmark to after the title rather than before it.
