Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.
One alternative to displaying your application's online Help system in a
separate window is to display it in a small, shaded pop-up window within
your application. To do so, you can use the Windows API WinHelp() function
with its HELP_CONTEXTPOPUP argument. This article describes how to
implement such a Help system.
This article assumes that you are familiar with Access Basic and with
creating Microsoft Access applications using the programming tools provided
with Microsoft Access. For more information about Access Basic, please
refer to the "Introduction to Programming" manual in Microsoft Access
version 1.x, or the "Building Applications" manual in version 2.0.
This article also assumes that you are familiar with creating Windows Help
files. For more information about creating Help files, refer to the "Help
Compiler Guide" included with the Microsoft Access Distribution Kit
version 1.1 and the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit version 2.0.
