help screen/button

[wshs]

i'm trying to create a help screen for database users. Thinking about creating a "button" on top of the form and when user clicks a button, open a page/dialog with help descriptions. anyway i can approach this?

Have you got HTML help? It is quite useful. There was a discussion, but Help is such a difficult keyword

well i meant literally.. help screen. Like make a page pop-up and tell users which field means what and some not..
was going to make a command button and a pop-up form, but that's kind of tacky.. was wondering if there are any other wyas

You can get pretty far describing fields with Status Bar Text and ControlTip Text. I have used HTML help, it really is quite nice. But perhaps you could just have a HTML document with some bookmarks ... FollowHyperlink ...
