Default Display a form's Context help when the form opens - 07-05-2005 , 10:30 PM






I have a form that when the user click's the "What's This" question
mark and the form's section, a pop-up help screen appears. I would like
to automatically display this pop-up help context when the form is
opened. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Alex

Use either a message box or a popup/modal form to contain the text of your
help, then run code

DoCmd Openform "MyForm"
or
Msgbox "MyMessage"

to open it on the main form's OnLoad or OnOpen event.
