Hi Pongthap,

I assume that you're referring to the old style Windows help (like the help file that comes with 5.0) rather than the new HTML style help (6.0). To do that, you'll need a word processor capable of producing Rich Text Format file (RTF). You'll also need the Help Compiler. Check the help that comes with it for details on what you must do. Optionally, there are several third party products that can make the process simpler. I don't use one, however, so I can't offer any suggestions.

One note. If you're using Word 97 or above, the compiler that came with VFP 5.0 can't read their RTF files. You can download an updated version from the MS site. I think that David Frankenbach's site has a direct link to the download.

hth,
George
