set help file map id for table?

[dm1]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to locate where I can set the help topic for a table. Scenario is this: have form, mapped to help topic 10, form has field pulling data from a table and when i click it using the 'whats this' help arrow it displays the default access help rather than my help file/topic.

Any suggestions?

Hi Jon,

You need to create a "YourHelp".hlp file using the ms help file compiler (not supplied with Office97 :-( )

if you have Office developer, VB, or VC++ etc you'll have the help compiler it's looking for a windows "HelpFile" type file. you put this files name in the
form->properties->Other.Help file

You may be able to find third party free/share ware windows help file compilers though.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your input but i think you miss my point. That is, I already have a help compiler, and a help file (extensivly used) but i don't see a way to specify my help file in the properties for a table. Thus, when i insert a table as a lookup in a form and then click the ? what's this help button and select that table I get the default access help file, not mine. All other fields in the form refer to my help file...

Any other suggestions?
