In the menu use HELP ID {whatever the first topic ID is} (Instead of RUN)
In the startup of your app, place SET HELP TO {path}\QDMS2004Help.chm
The files to distribute are foxhhelpps8.dll and foxhhelp8.exe and they are included in the VFP8 MM.

>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.
