Then the problem is a greater one - my help file begins with things like "What's New in VFP 8.0"

my version show 8.00.0000.2521 - downloaded from MSDN as soon as it was posted.

Is it possible I have a lingering help file from the beta? Have my MSDN CD now. Any idea how to get the released help either from the DL file or the MSDN CD (I assume they are the same, no?)

TIA

Charles
