>>One other thing to check: make sure you have both foxhhelp7.exe and foxhhelpps7.dll installed and registered. I had this problem the first time I ran an exe with a .chm help file on win98 even.

>>>I may be wrong here, but it looks like it may not be finding your chm file. Depending on your default directory and your variable replacement.

>>>The following works fine for me:
>>>

>>>SET HELP on
>>>SET HELP to alltrim(m.cHelpPath)
>>>SET TOPIC TO alltrim(m.cHelpTopic)
>>>HELP
>>>SET HELP TO

>>>
>>>where m.cHelpPath contains the full path and filename of the chm. I would definitely get rid of the &ghelp and set it to (gpath+ghelp). If you dont use your gpath then try setting a default dir first "set default"
>>>
>>>Lots of times, things will work on one machine and not another when it's a path issue, especially if you are working on a developer machine. Developer machines seem to always find the right path.
>>>
>>>If this doesnt work try adding a button to one of your forms and hardcode everything to your chm file.
>>>

>>>SET HELP on
>>>SET HELP to 'c:\mypath\mychm.chm'
>>>SET TOPIC TO 'mytopic'
>>>Help
>>>SET HELP TO

>>>this may give you some insight into whether it is an OS issue or not.
