Re: Links in DV_FOXHELP.CHM no longer work

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am using VFP SP1.
Running the CHM file manually is no different than through VFP.
I have tried re-installing VFP and then SP1 to no avail.

I have tried Regmon while clicking on links, and there are hundreds of
entries that occur, most say SUCCESS, a few say NOT FOUND, and there
are a few that say BUFFER OVERFLOW...

Hi Drsystems:

What version of VFP are you using?

Does the Help file work OK if you access it by double clicking on the CHM
file in Windows Explorer?

If you run the Help file and click the links while running Regmon and
Filemon, do the logs files show any problems? (Get Regmon and Filemon from
www.sysinternals.com.)

I hope this helps.

Fred,

My help is installed on the local drive.

ACK!

All of a sudden, links in the vfp help file no longer work. They just
take me to a white page. I have tried the following:
- http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822989
- Re-copied the chm from my install CD
- Tried other CHM files to see if they behave this way - they behave
normally.

Any ideas???
