>>>In my infinate wisdom I deleted the MSDN directory where the Visual Studio 6 help was located. Of course, I also emtied the trash. I have a copy of FoxHelp.chm and FoxHelp.chi that I copied into the default VFP98 directory and changed the file location in the Options/Tools, but it still won't bring it up from inside Foxpro. I can open the help file from outside Fox. Any ideas other than a full reinstall? Thanks!

FWIW I'm using the January 2001 MSDN as my default help file and it works fine from within VFP. I checked my registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\visualfoxpro\6.0\options and found that HelpOn is "1" and HelpTo is the full drive & path pointing to the foxhelp.chm file. HTH.
