I just installed the July 2001 edition of MSDN as my source for help files. Everything worked fine with the April version. When I try to get context-sensitive help on various windows (Project Manager, Form Designer, etc.) by pressing the F1 key I get an error that says "The compiled help (.chm) file does not contain context IDs". Has anyone else seen this?

I can get help via the command window and a command of the form "HELP SCATTER" but even that doesn't take me to the actual help page because it seems all the "commands" have the word "command" added to the index entry so that you have to issue a "HELP SCATTER COMMAND" to have the help screen go to the right page directly. I imagine this may have something to do with the fact that all the help information is now under the VFP 7.0 heading.
