Thanks Macer,

i was just about to correct my original entry as i found out how to use set help command properly. i am using a chm file, now onwards creating a new help file for our entire application! WARNING there may be more silly help related questions :-)

>>Hi,
>>i have a project in vfp8 but in the project info i cannot set the help file, all of the options on the server tab in project info are greyed out. i am creating a help file in Help & Manual 3.5 and have given some entries content_id numbers so that i can link into them. i can find where to enter the help content_id number but not where to enter the actual help file to be accessed.
