No Foxpro 6.0 help files

[Grrrrrumpy]

Hello,
I recently purchased Visual FoxPro 6.0 Professional Edition via E-bay. I did a custom install, selected
everything possible, but when I run it, there are no help files. Those options under the "Help" button are grayed out... unaccessible. Any ideas why?

Thanks
Joe

Check under Tools->Options->Files locations-> Help files, my is pointing at "c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\msdn98\98vs\1033\foxhelp.chm"

Joe,
The important thing here is that VFP 6.0 comes on TWO CDs - the second being the MDSN Libray disc where the file Mike mentions is located. There was a special version of it included with both Visual Studio 6.0 and VFP 6.0. In fact it's also on all MSDN library CDs from July 1998 through April 2001 - after that, you'll find the VFP help file included was for 7.0 or none at all now that VFP isn't part of Visual Studio. VFP 7 and 8 have their own help files again just like 5 and before!
