I would like that my application were able to find the help file in everywhere that I put it.
My intention is to keep the path of helpfile in a text file, so I can change the path without compiling the project again.
I tried to change the property App.Helpfile, but it doesn´t anything. The program continues to seek the file in the path defined before compiling.
Is it possible to do it?

Try defining a path to help file only on one place (remove any previous references you have made), like for instance when MDI form is loading. Something like

App.HelpFile = App.Path & "\HelpFile.chm"

The program expects to locate help file in application directory, so no need for saving path to a text file.
