I use FoxPro 2.6a at work and at home I just installed VFP98 or Visual FoxPro 6. I pressed F1 and nothing happens. I followed everything that you said from the different articles and it still doesn't work. I even tried reinstalling the program. But if I select as defa the FP2.6 it shows but is not a new or updated help file in which I require. I searched the cd and folder and foound no .chm or .dbf's that are help files. Thanks in advance.

To get help for VFP6 you must install MSDN that comes with it,
because VFP6 is still part of Visual Studio. Usualy MSDN comes with 2 different disks with VFP6.

I have that but I didn't install that yet but I will now. Thanks.

You might also have to tell VFP6 where its Help file is stored. The entry is in the File Locations page of Tools|Options and should be set to FoxHelp.Chm with its full path.
