BRAHMS help file

Comprehensive and extensively cross-referenced help on the BRAHMS database system is available and can be downloaded as a CHM help file.

Help file open error

If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 - your system may place a block on compiled help files (*.chm) that have been downloaded from the Internet. This block may mean that the help file displays an ‘Action canceled’ or ‘The page cannot be displayed’ error in the topic pane.

After downloading the CHM file, open it from the location where it was saved and a security warning will appear. In order to view the help documents properly, the checkmark must be cleared from the ‘Always ask before opening this file&rlsquo; check box. The files will then open properly from the PC. Alternatively, right-click on the file you want to open, click Properties, and then click Unblock.

Also note that you may get a similar error message if the help file is saved to a network drive. Store it on a local drive, for example your desktop.
