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 can update from ERI, Trade Service or EPIC. This link contains instructions and all the necessary support files. These files were last edited and revised in December 2010. See instructions file only.
