>>>>>>>i had asked this b4 but never got it resolved on my end. Can anyone tell me where to point my help file to in Visfxopr 6.o? I have it pointed to "c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\msdn98\98vsa\1033\foxhelp.chm" and there is still NO help available.

This is a real shot in the dark on my part, however, and I seriously doubt that it'll work, but you might give it a shot anyway, and try F1 to see if help comes up.

What happens if you double-click on the foxhelp.chm file?
