>Hello,
>I'm a VFP developer currently involved in a VB development application. It was quite easy to prepare a HELP function within VFP, and can't understand how VB can take functions that are easy to do in VFP and complicated them in VB. An example is the Microsoft Help WOrkshop that ships with Visual Studio. I am having a a problem with it and can get no help from a VB'r. I believe the Help Workshop can also be used within VFP, so I'm posting this on the VFP thread in the hopes that a fellow FOX person has some familiarity with it. The message I posted on the VB thread is as Follows:

I think you'll need the double-underlining to get the hyperlinks to work. You should be able to do this in Word by highlighting the text you want to underline, then from the Menu select Format, Font. In the Font dialog box on the left side about middle way down you should see an "Underline" dropdown list box. Choose Double in it, then Ok.
