Visual FoxPro 6.0, SP3

Has anyone tried to use HTML Help under Windows 2000? For me, it works fine the first time you call it from an application. Then, if you close the help file and try to reopen it (while still in the application), it opens it up minimized rather than bringing it to the foreground. Our help has worked fine in the past under NT, 95 and 98.

This problem also appears in the FoxPro development environment itself using the FoxPro HTML Help file (FoxHelp.chm). If you press F1, the help comes up fine. Then, if you close the help and press F1 again, the help comes up minimized.

Has anyone else seen this? If so, does anyone know of a workaround? I've found that if I open the help file using the HTMLHelp API, the help will display fine the 2nd time (and 3rd, 4th, etc.). However, I would rather not have to recode the application to use the API when FoxPro is supposed to natively handle HTML Help files.

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan Cochran
