>Thanks for the reply Dragan. I have another question maybe you can
help me with. I used to be able to access help (for foxpro) but it
just wouldn't work one day. I get an error message about
insufficient
stack space. I didn't change anything on my pc so I don't understand
why all of a sudden I got this error. Do you have any ideas on how
to get help back? Thanks again. I will let you know how I make out
with the memory problems after I try a few things.
When opening a help file, Fox relies on two things: saved settings
and the validity of the help table.
As for the settings, check your resource file - it may be corrupt;
you may look for any record with HELPPOS in it - simply delete it
and pack. You'd probably have to
set resource off
use (set("reso"),1) excl
browse && here you look for HELP*, just use CTRL+F and find it
pack
use
set resource on
help
If this doesn't work, then it's the helpfile which got corrupted -
either restore from some backup, or try some rebuilding technique
(maybe just Use FoxHelp excl ... pack memo would suffice).
If none of this works, get a helpfile for FPD2.5 or 2.6 - they are
basically the same, just a few international issues (collating
sequences and such) were added. The help file structure is the same.
