To clarify, below I say 'hyperlink' when I meant to say 'hypertext link'.

>My client wants me to simulate html type help, or a hyperlink in my vfp app.
>The app doesn't necessarily have to call up a browser, it is just that they want to be able to click on underlined text and call up a help definition for the underlined text.

This works ok for grey background. But, you can't (at least without difficulty I think) change the backcolor of a command button. (there were some threads on this - regarding windows color scheme - that I have yet to fully understand)
