..about not implementing HTML help in VFP 6! After creating my first HTML help file for one of my apps, I get an error message when I tried to invoke the following:

set help to dfs.chm
hit the F1 key and boom! error!

_vfp.help('dfs.chm') does not work, and you can't do this with any other CHM file either. Basically the error was The .HLP file is invalid or corrupt. Then I read in Hacker's, among other tidbits, Given that [MS] has decreed that HTML Help is the future, this is a pretty big mistake.

So, now I have to resort to the kludge, run /n hh.exe dfs.chm because you still can only use .HLP files with SET HELP, etc. What a crock.

Arghhhhh!
