You don't need to be connected to yhe internet to run the help. You don't need to keep the CD in the CD player either (except maybe if you choose minimal installation). Did you installed the MSCD library?

>I am trying to make the switch to VFP 6.0 from 5.0. Whenever I look up a topic in the HTML help screen, however, I get an error message telling me that the internet site blah-blah-blah cannot be found. I have the MSDN Library CD and have it in the CD player. I can't believe that I have to be connected into the web to get a simple help screen. I can very quickly believe that I have done something stupid in setting this up. Any ideas??
