Default help button

I think to utilise the ? button, you need to create help
files which I don't know how to do.

You could have a brief explanation of each button appear
when the mouse is over it by using the ControlTipText
property.
Also you could put your own button with a ? on the form
have have it display a text box containing instructions.
If you do this then create 2 textboxes. Make the second
one a copy of the first and set it's visible property to
false. Then under the change event of the first on put
Textbox1.text = textbox2.text

That way no one can delete anything or change your text.

For some information on how to connect HTML Help files to Office
applications, see the resources listed under the "Microsoft Office"
heading at:

http://www.mshelpwiki.com/index.php?...MLHelpArticles

also I found in the web a html help workshop, can you
point me to a site to get some more inf. in how to work
with it.


There's a good tutorial he

http://mvps.org/htmlhelpcenter/htmlh...tutorials.html

And if you want to buy a book on the subject, the best is probably
Jeannine Klein's "Building Enhanced HTML Help with DHTML & CSS".
