>Let me know if you have done it in a different order, or installed any patches for Office 2000, like SPs or SR1.

Jim,

One other thing we have found with the problem is that every time you press F1 in VFP 7 a new instance of foxhhelp7 starts.


Here is the rough order of my machine, and the rest are in pretty much the same order (because I installed them).

Win2k
IIS (From Windows CD)
Win2kSP2
Office 2000 (Word, Excel Only) - No Patches
Symantec Act 2000 *
Visual Studio 6
VS 6 SP 5
MSDN Library - July 2001
Crystal Reports 8 Developer *
Wise for Windows Installer 3.5 ^
.NET SDK Beta 2 ^ (SQL MSDE from this on my machine)
SQL MSDE Seperate install on other machines.
IE 6 *
VFP 7
Soap Toolkit *
Older VFP Updates from the VF Web Site *
Wise for Windows Installer 4.0 Evaluation ^ (Including Windows Installer 2.0)
Other computers got Windows Installer 2.0 just before VFP 7 SP 2
VFP 7 SP 2

^ Only my computer has these items
* Not all computers have these items

Even though not all of these are on all machines, all 5 machines here got the problems. The only machine that did not get the problem is a Dell laptop with everything except office and the other items with *'s or ^'s installed.

One machine had the following freshly installed on monday and still got the problem:

Windows 2000
W2k SP 2
Office 2000
Chinese Language pack
VFP 7
Crystal Reports 8.0
Windows Installer 2.0
VFP 7 SP 2

Thanks for the effort of trying to help us out.

Cheers,

Chris Ormerod
