>>>Ok, I have seen the reasons why our CHM help files no longer work on our client installations. I know that I can have the users copy the help file to their local drive and it will work when run from Windows Explorer. From an installation standpoint, this seems to be a little awkward. What is everyone else doing about their online help documentation if they are not copying the CHM files to local drives? Are there any other solutions where the help information can be stored on a network and called from a VFP application, possibly something other than CHM?

My solution involves one single batch file, that has to be installed in all user machines.
