Tried a search in the Configuration Variables dialog but couldn't see anything.

Tried recording a macro and had a look at the VB code for this and there does not appear to be a configuration variable defined for this.

You could raise a new Service Request to log an Enhancement.

Private Sub IModalDialogEvents_OnDialogOpened(ByVal DialogBoxName As String, DialogResult As MsdDialogBoxResult)

    If DialogBoxName = "Preferences [Personal]" Then

    '   Set a variable associated with a dialog box
        SetCExpressionValue "savePrefs.flags.useOnlineHelp", 1, "USERPREF"

    '   Remove the following line to let the user close the dialog box.
        DialogResult = msdDialogBoxResultOK

    End If  ' Preferences [Personal]

End Sub

Thanks Andrew an enhancement for that would be nice. We tried using %undef MS_HELPLOAD_USEBROWSER so that it would use the local CHM help but that cause no help to open. I am thinking this would be a defect. You may also want to add a defect on OpenRoads as the same user preference did nothing in OpenRoads. OpenRoads always seems to look online for its help. We used %undef MS_HELPLOAD_USEBROWSER in OpenRoads and it opened the local CHM regardless of the user setting.  I know its not an OpenRoads forum and I should post this there but... This is all tested in the latest builds on the product.
