Recently Microsoft have introduced a patch that blocks the access of compiled HTML help files across a network. Network access to such files was considered a security issue by Microsoft. Is there any other format in which the help files can be compiled and accessed from a visual FoxPro application.

Why not just install them on the user's local machine?

Hi FoxDave,
Definitely. The "classic" HLP format works fine. In fact, if you are doing WhatsThisHelp, it is better than compiled HTML because the topics appear in nice-looking popup windows.
VFP also supports the old DBF help system, although I can't think of any good reason to use it.
Mike
