>>>I was wondering how others are creating help for their VFP applications. Any special products that you are using and like? I'm just getting to the point where I'd like to put help in my application so any "help" would be appreciated.

I have the html help in my app also. I may have missed something (and I would appreciate comments), but the main use for the west wind code is to make editing the files easier since the Microsoft product does not include an html editor. You have to use something like Frontpage or notepad. Anyway, I got it to work ok. I found one little thing that gave me problems: once you load foxhhelp.exe, it stays in memory even after you close all foxpro programs. In fact, I had to reset the computer in order to load a new update for my programs because I ran foxhhelp.exe from a path where the new programs go. What I ended up doing is to have my program copy foxhhelp.exe to a new directory before it runs. Then I could load a new update to my programs. (Hope that is clear) I can imagine support calls from users who can't load an update without resetting their computer first.
