Yes but if I remember correctly, microsoft does not include a seperate
reader. I believe if you do a google for the ext cfm, you may get some hits
on readers that are out there

The compiled Html Help file may be corrupted.

Hi Larry,

Did you download the .CHM file from the web perhaps? If so, right-click on the file, choose "Properties", click "Unblock" and click OK.
