>Finally, I copied the FoxHelp.chm file (7 Mb) from the MSDN CD into Visual Studio's MSDN98\98VSa\1033 subdirectory, and then I went into the VFP menu (Tools/Options/File Locations) and pointed the "Help File" entry to the above file. This seems to work fine.

Okay, I've made the bug doc changes...the filenames have changed since Q214560 in the 1/99 MSDN edition. And, I now always get the MSDN start page from any menu option, and the "subset" is always "Entire Collection." Exactly the same whether I set pointer to foxhelp.chm or msdnvs98.col. Not useful from vfp :)

Also, the context help is now fouled up, it opens up vfp help, but goes to the wrong topic, I think the index it uses is wrong or something...

Are you using MSDN 1/99? It seems as though things have changed since the KB article came out...
