>F1 does fire up the CHM file specified in the SET HELP TO, however the topic with the same ID as the associated with the HelpContextID property of the object in focus when F1 is hit is not selected. The CHM file always comes up to the default page. From the KB article it looks like we have to handle this ourselves with the command: HELP ID THIS.HelpContextID. I would have thought VFP would handle this internally.


This works for me. If the cusor is in the field xyz and the helpContectId=123 pressing F1 will bring up the help for field xyz.
