PRB: Visual FoxPro Help Jumps to Wrong Topic

Last reviewed: October 25, 1995
Article ID: Q138503

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Visual FoxPro Help displays the wrong help topic.

CAUSE

This can be caused by a corrupt Foxhelp index file (Foxhelp.gid or Foxhelp.fts).

RESOLUTION

Foxhelp.gid is the file used to search for a topic in the Help screen when you click Index. Foxhelp.fts is used to search when you click Find. If you have trouble moving to the correct page in the Help file, delete the appropriate Help index file, and then restart Help. This will rebuild the index file.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
