Set-up Help File

[Lirva Smith via AccessMonster.com]

Hi There,

How do I connect a help file to my Access Database. I want the user to
click on the command button "Help" and have the help file open. Where do I
put the .hlp file and how do I open it in the database?

Thanks!

"About creating custom help" and "Create custom help" are topics in Access
2003 help. How far did you get with this procedure, and exactly what
problem did you run into?

I?m using Access 2000. I have looked in the help file and there is nothing
there that tells me how to connect my database with a ?Help File?, unless
I've overlooked it.

My question basically is, I guess I have to place some kind of code on the
command button on the forms, I have no idea what the code should look like.
And, does the help file (.hlp) go into the same folder as the database or
it doesn?t matter?

Thanks!

I can't help much with Access 2000. Try this one (particularly the
reference to the David Liske article):
