I no longer have access to VLIDE (LT).

This works here on my end:

(setq a "C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Autodesk Shared\\acadauto.chm") (if (findfile a) (startapp "hh.exe" a) (alert (strcat a " not found.")) );if (setq a nil)

If that does not work, try this:

(startapp "hh.exe" (strcat "\"" a "\""))
