It applies to VFP7. I tried to add the two equivalent files from the VFP directory in InstallShield, but it said that they were already included in the VFP8 merge modules (which I have already included in the IS project).......still stumped.

>>I have a Visual FoxPro 8 program that has a "Help" menu pad.

>>When I distribute the exe to other machines, it errors with "Cannot run 'qdms2004help.chm" from both the menu and F1. If I go to Windows explorer and double click on the chm file, it launches....and, after that, the F1 and menu calls work fine.

>>What do I need to do to get this to work on the first call?
