I can offer no specific solution, but it's always difficult to mix and match features from multi-generational software.
FPW 2.6 is a 16-bit application and Compiled HTML files are strictly accessed only in the 32-bit world. There are many questions posted on how to get CHM files working well with VFP which was "designed" to use them. I wish you luck.

never tried it with .chm files but in the past i've created a VB .exe to hyperlink to an html file.
e.g. the executable is called hyper.exe so from foxpro I..
run /n7 hyper.exe c:\temp\webpage.htm
the VB code for hyper.exe was lifted from MSDN - it launches the registered application for the file type with the filename as a parameter.
.... if there's any interest I can post it to FAQs ?
