Peter, CHM is fine as I can click on it and open outside VFP no problem.
Ted, permissions have been set correctly and it is windows 10 with latest updates. I addressed the problem of not being able to access chm files directly some time ago.
I first noticed it last week and it had been working fine up until then but I have no idea what changed apart from a massive M$ update last Wednesday.
I may well simply re-install VFP again and see what happens.

Hi Dave,
Perhaps the CHM has become corrupt. Do you have a backup copy to try or maybe install VFP9 on a VM and nick the CHM off it.

For some reason my VFP Help file will not load. When you select help it goes into the "indexing for the first time" and never returns, requiring task manager to stop the process.
Loading up the help chm by clicking on it does the same thing but immediately finishes the index and loads fine.
I have tried updating the help with the newer SP2 help file to no avail as it still does the same.
Any ideas?
Dave
