The Fox Team delivers! VFP SP2 Help file fix is out!

As noted by Rick Schummer, the VFP9 SP2 help file fix is available. It was promised by YAG at the MVP Summit in Redmond last week. Thanks guys!

  1. The fix does not work properly. Some internal links seem to be broken. Please check it out...

  2. What a disappointment! All the expectatives downloading the file, and when looking at it... more missing things even!
    - Many links missing
    - Visual Style poored (bold style to remark parameters no more bold, blue style now black and white
    - In the "See also" section of all help topics there is a "Concepts" only topic and no more "References", "Concepts" and "Other Resources"
    - Where is the "Favorites" tab in the help?
    - The search tab: Just search, no more all the other options (missing checkboxes with "Similar words", "Search only titles" and others; missing clickable columns for the results, so no more ordering; missing Total of topics found)
    - All that found in the first 15 minutes!

    (make sure you type the URL in one line as unfortunately this dialog box does not always allow for proper linking - not wide enough)
