What's This? Function in VBA

[davidgottlieb]

How can I assign pop up boxes to each of my buttons, textboxes, comboboxes, and text boxes, so when the user clicks on the question mark and then clicks on the object, it will come up with a box that tells them what it is???

Read your online help and search for "context sensitive help".

It involves setting the help attributes of each control (read the property lists) and then going into a "help mode" where the cursor changes to an arrow with question mark and anything you click on will have the previously set help topic displayed instead of activating the help.

Be aware though... that if you change your code such that this context sensitive help is available then it will negate the normal F1 retrieval of help for that form... That is unless they have fixed this problem in recent releases.

Do you know the code??? I need this desperately.
