VFP5 help files
Hi Foxgang. Seem to have a little problem running help files created with robohelp's html help. Does not seem to work on new machines. Any ideas what is missing. I assume it may be an ocx/dll or something. TIA Allen -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 697 spam emails to date.

RE: VFP5 help files
Al, What version of Robohelp and what O/S. If it is Vista then there is a known problem as Vista doesn't support for native help files. Also if you look at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607 INTRODUCTION Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) is a help program that has been included with Microsoft Windows versions starting with the Microsoft Windows 3.1 operating system. WinHlp32.exe is required to display 32-bit help content files that have the .hlp file name extension. However, the Windows Help program has not had a major update for many releases and no longer meets Microsoft standards. Therefore, starting with the Microsoft Windows Vista and the Microsoft Windows Server Code Name Longhorn operating system releases, the Windows Help program will not ship as a component of Windows. Also, third-party programs that include .hlp files are prohibited from redistributing the Windows Help program together with their products. Users who want to view 32-bit .hlp files must download the program from the Microsoft Download Center, and then install it on their computers. The download for Windows Help is still in development. It will be available in time for the consumer release of Windows Vista scheduled for early 2007.

RE: VFP5 help files
Sorry, may have mislead. It’s a chm file and it works fine on my machine but not another. I have noted that ie7 does not seem to like my web version but I don’t care about that. Allen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: 12 January 2007 11:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: VFP5 help files Al, It could be something to do with the permissions in the Local Intranet zone of IE? The security added after the IE7 update (or thereabouts) with IE might be causing the error in the same way they specify Author not Verified when running a program of a networked drive. Have you tried loading the .html help file with Firefox? That would prove it isn't IE that is at fault at least. Dave Crozier -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

RE: VFP5 help files
That didn’t work either im sorry to say. Seems the error starts with the open dialog on a double click instead of just running it. Then it errors with a message along the lines of you don’t have internet access. As this is running on AOL broadband I would not be surprised what that rubbish does.
