In order for help to work, there needs to be a DLL (I don't remeber its name, probably foxhelp.dll) installed on the client machine. Just like the VFP runtime files need to be. The setup wizard takes care of this. If you don't use a setup program, then you will need to find a way to copy (and probably register) this DLL in the client computer yourself.

BTW, the reason it works on your development machine is becaue when you installed VFP on your computer, the VFP setup program installed this DLL in your computer.

>>>The chm file displays when ran in development mode in VFP6. When the executable is ran neither the F1 key works nor the help button works from an about form. Nothing happens except the mouse pointer fades out like something is processing but doesn't display the chm help and there are no errors that I know of. Any ideas?
