What's the best way to create a help system for Access 2003? Is MS HTML
Help Workshop the way to go? I want to put a clickable control on different
forms, that, when clicked, will bring up the help topic specific to that
form. Can this be done? 11 3060

The best way, I reckon, is not to create a help function at all, but
integrate extra message and information in your system - as we all know that
few people like to read the help files.

yeah, but there's way too much to explain. I could record a how-to video...

Before you start on the daunting task of making a large help file - see if
you can reduce the amount there is to explain.... why is there so much to
explain? is it not self-explanatory?

You'd have to see the app. It's got a lot of functionality. I think MS
HTML Help Workshop is the ticket, but it's another thing to come up to speed
on - as if there's not enough already...

If you see it as a hard task to learn it all, why not use MS Word with some
PowerPoint slides? That is so much easier ... and everyone is familiar with
it. Then, if you want it to appear a bit more prof. just make a PDF of
it...
