Re: Help File Links not Working

Thanks Lee but you are mis-understanding the problem

Going from VFP 9 to the help file works fine.

It is going from the help file to someplace else in the help file using the
internal links that doesn't work.

Suppose you type "HELP AUTOINCREMENT" in the VFP 9.0 command box.

On my system the help page comes up for "AutoIncrement Property"

That page has the following links:

Under Remarks:
Project Object (Visual FoxPro)
EXE Version Dialog Box
VersionNumber Property

Under See Also
BUILD APP Command
BUILD DLL Command
BUILD EXE Command

and there are others.

Whichever of these I click on, I just get a blank screen.

Hi Jeff:

What version of operating system are you using?

Do you have a version of MSDN installed?

If you look in Tool> Options> File Locations is the Help File option
pointing to dv_foxhelp.chm?

I hope this helps.

Hello and thanks for the help.

I have both VFP 7 (SP1) and VFP 9 (SP1) installed on my development
machine.

The links in the help file for VFP 9 are not working. I can use the index
on
the left to jump to pages and I can type HELP <whatever> in the command
box
and get to the correct page but the "See Also" links all link to a blank
page.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeff
