Rick,
Thanks for your help, but I think I'll have to place a call to MS tech
support for this one. I'm not even able to open the help file directly off
the CD. I've reinstalled VFP8 twice now with no luck. I get a "cannot open
file" message. If you have any more ideas, I'd sure appreciate them.
Thanks again,
CM

Also check to make sure the .CHM file type is registered to "C:\WINDOWS\hh.exe". My version of HH.EXE is 5.2.3790.1159 (Internally HH 1.41).

Then make sure this file has actually been installed at this location. Note: If you have to add or change it, make sure you click the "Set As Default" button, or this setting won't be saved for future sessions.
