Brian,

I believe I have been having the same problem. Based on recent suggestions I was able to borrow our group's April 2001 MSDN CD set and installed only the VFP portion. I saw that I had both FOXHELP.CHM and FOXHELP.CHI files in the ...\2001APR\1033 folder. I went into VFP 6 and set the help file location to the FOXHELP.CHM file in that folder and my help now works the way it used to. Make sure to set it as default too.

>I just tried installing July 2001 and I'm having the same problem now. Opening the library directly with the MSDN icon is fine, but from VFP 6.0, no go. I've removed the Apr 2001 and tried to completely uninstall and reinstall the July 2001 as well. Note that I do a custom install with only the VFP docs & samples. Never had a problem before...

>I have a feeling (and forgive me if someone already mentioned this) that all the Context ID's now are linked to VFP 7.0. Which means Apr 2001 will also have to be installed to use with VFP 6.0. The help pages appear to be in a newer format, so I have a feeling that anyone with 7.0 beta installed may not have this problem... then again, I could be wrong <s>
