A2K3 Turn off Help Combo Box? - Microsoft Access / VBA

bonehead

Okay, I see where the /nostartup switch turns off that big "Getting
Started" babysitter, but I'd also like to turn off that combo box in the
top right that says "Type a question for help". At some point I will
write my own html Help file for my app, but for right now I don't want
my users using that thing and thinking that's what they're going to get.

Where is the checkbox | switch | whatever that turns this off?

Application.CommandBars.DisableAskAQuestionDropdow n = True

The setting persists between Access sessions, so you may want to remember
the setting's value on your application startup and restore it on shutdown.
