RUNTIME Problems when form code (apparently) calls on Office Assis

Seem to have run foul of MS's decision that Office Assistant does not work
with ACCESS runtime licence.

1. Each form of my database has a help button on it with code: Private Sub
Help_Click()

SendKeys "{F1}"

End Sub

Though I don't understand why, these buttons (which call on my .chm
helpfile) don't work on a runtime installation and it is suggested that this
is because they call on the (missing) Office Assistant. What code should I
used instead to avoid this dratted Office Asistant?

2. Each form also has the 'What's This ?' button selected in its
properties,correctly calling on the context specific part of the .chm help
file. Again, this facility doesn't work with the runtime version of my db.
CouldI make my own 'What's This ? to do the same job without involving Office
Assistant?

My failure to test adequately in a runtime environment but surely MS is
creating unnecessary difficulties for users here!
 
Many thanks; I was recommended the SendKeys code off this forum! More
embarassingly, when I saved the page you suggested I found I had already
saved it a year ago (but it was relating to a problem I didn't then know I
had!).
