>>Thanks for the tip. That took care of it. I had 2 other copies of beautify.app on my system - one in the FP 2.6 application directories and one in an area where I had backed up my entire hard drive when I upgraded my hardware. I renamed those two files and now it works fine. Funny thing is, I renamed them back and it still works fine. I guess it updated itself on where to look.

>>I also can't get the help file (foxhelp.chm) to show up by using the menu or issuing the help command. I tried the same thing - renamed the duplicates - but it didn't help in this case. In the "file locations" section of "options", it is pointing to the correct file but still nothing happens when I click on help. I had to create a separate icon and call it from there instead. Used to work fine too.

>Go a layer deeper - in Tools/Options/File Locatgions/Help File, open the entry and make sure that "Use Help File" is checked.

Yes - it is checked. Thanks for the heads up anyway!
