>I am aware of that, but I was wondering if anyone has got a jump start on HTML help. Microsoft seemed to be pusing it in the last devcon and even went as far as saying that the current help compiler will no longer be updated as microsoft will be moving to this form of help system. I was hoping some industrious person would have been able to experiement with HTML in VFP 5.0.

The only kind of help system I would write now is HTML. This becomes very easy to integrate into your applications if you include a form using the browser control. I set the 'HOME' page in the startup ini file (which is just an html page) and the only places the user can navigate is through the links. There is no address bar. This way the USERS can modify their own help system, adding and updating issues very easily. Office 97 documents translate very well into HTML format and this type of help system is something that the USERS and their managers should manage.
