>I'm really not in love with windows help. For instance, when I installed SR4 for VFP6 it screwed up my VFP Help and it's still not fixed. Also, it's a "foreign" (non-VFP) EXE. If I was in your situation where I had DBF help up and running I would think about building a Form to handle .DBF style help that would be more consistant with VFP screens (oops, I mean Forms). As it is I'm right back to square one. None of the 3 types of Help is a clear winner.

We've thought about doing our own help form, but there's just so much that the help already does for you (indexing, searching, See Also, etc.), that we've pretty much resigned ourselves to "keeping" up with the current ways of help. If nothing else, it forces us to make sure our help files are up-to-date. < g >
