I can't compile the help system (with HTML Help Workshop), until I either close VFP, or SET HELP OFF. I get an error message, stating that the help compiler can't open the CHM file.

This is strange, for when my SET HELP doesn't involve the help file I want to compile:
set("help") = "OFF"
set("help", 1) = (the standard VFP help file, ...foxhelp.chm)
Since this only happens after I had opened the compiled CHM file in VFP, it seems obvious that the file is somehow in use, despite the fact that on shutdown, the main program sets help back to the standard VFP help.

Any ideas?
