Calls to a CHM Help file fails...WHY ?

Hi there,

I've compiled a CHM help file in the HTML Help Workshop that you get from the MicroSoft Web site. I've added some context ID's and it works very nicely on my machine. I've made calls from the various forms inside my VFP app to specific Help ID's inside the CHM and it fires up the CHM and jumps to that ID whenever I try it on my machine. Now the problem is that it only works on the machines in my office where VFP has been installed - on any other machine, the CHM file is not even opened. All I can think of is that some dll or another needs to be updated (or installed) on those machines.

I have tried the HHUPD.EXE (an HTML Help update) that upgrades the machine to HTML Help ver 1.31 - on all machines.

Other Information :
The HTML Help Workshop I'm using is version 4.74.8702.0 and the HTML Help version on my machine is 1.31

I'm running on a standard Win98 machine, 128 MB RAM.

The size of the CHM file is 7.12 MB

I have not registered the location of the CHM file.

I'm calling the Help file like this (typically in the click event of the HELP button):
SET HELP TO cyberagent.chm && cyberagent.chm is simply the name of my CHM Help file.
HELP ID 1031 && 1031 is a properly defined ID inside of the CHM

I make no other calls or use any other libraries to accomplish this call - simply those 2 lines of code.

I am desperate !

Thanks in advance !
