2539.0. "F1 doesn't work when multiple programs running" by PCBUOA::GARDES () Thu Apr 24 1997 09:31

    I have run into a problem, and I was wondering if anyone else has seen
    this, and what they did about it.
    
    I have "help" working fine - both a menu pull-down option that I wrote
    and the F1 key.  The actual help file was written using Robohelp.
    This is on VB4 16-bit.  The help file works on Windows 95 and NT and
    Windows 3.1.  However, if I have another visual basic application running,
    on the Windows 3.1 system only, the help stops working.  When you press 
    the F1 key, nothing happens.  When I try the pulldown menu, nothing 
    happens.  But this all works fine on a Windows 95 system.  Sound like
    a bug in Windows 3.1???  
    
    Any ideas?  
    
    Thanks,
    Sharon
