which explains the detailed purpose of the button?

Ideally the option(s) for a commandbutton, both from the
control toolbox and from the forms toolbar, please.

Sorry, meant to say that both types of control are on a sheet, not in a
form.

Create a small Shape as a textbox with text "?" or an image that looks like
a help button.
If a text box, format the fill colour not same as the control.
Assign to a macro to display a msgbox with your helpful text.

Place the the shape on and (say) to the far right of your control. Select
the shape and your control, right click and Group.

I can do you a solution for the control toolbox, but it doesn't work for
forms.
