I am trying to add a help file to a form which has 3 Control Tabs. There is no Help File Property in the "other property" area. This is wwhere the help file property is found on every other form, which is not Tabbed. Any ideas??
 
Adding a Tab control to a form should not affect the available properties of the form. Are you sure you've check the form's property sheet and not the detail section's property sheet?

I've just checked one of my (Access 97) forms with a tab control and the Help File property is available - just under "Fast Laser Printing" and above "Help Context ID".

I found it. But it is only available on initial opening of the file. Very strange. I seem unable to open the forms property sheet unless I first closen then reopen the form.
