Bill,

Thanks! Unfortunately when I search, I can't find any files named

FOXHHELP9.EXE and DLL.

Waitaminute...checking the info on the WestWind link you sent, it shows

that those two files are supposed to be in the Common Files folder.

Interesting....they are both there, but both have been renamed

FOXHHE~1.EXE

FOXHHE~1.DLL

Curious!

Renamed them, Help works like a champ now! Thanks Bill! Okay, anyone

want to take a stab at how they got renamed??? Pretty bizarre. I wonder

if this is related to problems being caused by my friend, AVAST, and

it's new Sandbox feature...
