BHS6 Help
File for Version 6.0.6.9 and later Copy this file to the c:\program
files\bhs, inc/bhs5 folder. If, when you open the Help (on a W7 or Vista
machine) there is no data and it tells you to navigate to another web address,
you are experiencing a Windows security “feature.” If you navigate to c:\program files\bhs,
inc\bhs5 and double-click on the bhs6.chm file, Windows will come up and ask if
you want to run the file. There is a checkbox for “Always Check Before Running This File.” Uncheck it. It should work fine
from within, or without the program then. If installed with the rest of the
system, this would probably not happen, but since it came from a web download,
Windows flags it until you tell it that the file is ok.
Updating From
Alternate National Pricing Services - BHSestimator
