I just downloaded it myself and the whole of the helpfile is there.

It won't appear unless the dataset is in Edit or Insert mode. Have you
tried that?

The grid doesn't know. The behaviour is controlled by the property
settings of the lookup dataset and the Keysource datasource.

It's all there in the last article in controls.hlp, when you get to
it. Click the Contents table of the helpfile to see the list of contents
and to locate and open each article. If the Contents tab is missing, it
means you didn't extract the .cnt file from the zip.
