Err.HelpFile (property)

Syntax Err.HelpFile [= filename]
Description Sets or retrieves the name of the help file associated with the error.
Comments The Err.HelpFile property, together with the Err.HelpContents property, contain sufficient information to display help for the error. When BasicScript generates an error, the Err.HelpContents property is set to 0 and the Err.HelpFile property is set to ""; the value of the Err.Number property is sufficient for displaying help in this case. The exception is with errors generated by an OLE automation server; both the Err.HelpFile and Err.HelpContext properties are set by the server to values appropriate for the generated error. When generating your own user-define errors, you should set the Err.HelpContext property and the Err.HelpFile property appropriately for your error. If these are not set, then BasicScript displays its own help at an appropriate place.
Example 

                           'This example defines a replacement for InputBox that deals
                           'specifically with Integer values. If an error occurs, the
                           'function generates a user-defined error that can be trapped
                           'by the caller.

Note The Err.HelpFile property can be set to any valid Windows help file (i.e., a file with a .HLP extension compatible with the WINHELP help engine).
