Hello David,
You might try the component gallery in VFP.
go to Tools...Component Gallery... in the left window pain, choose catologs...in the right window pain choose World Wide Web...choose visual FoxPro... choose Internet Classes...Choose Hyperlink.
once you have done that A dialog box pops up that will let you put the anchor you want. Once you have finished your Link it has properties just like a regular label. You can set them however you wish


>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)
