Change F1 Help Key

Does anyone know how to change function key assignments. I am really tired of
accidentally hitting F1 (help) when I intend to hit F2 (edit). I would really
like to move "help" to a more remote funtion key.

Create an AutoKeys macros that remaps F1 to do nothing, and some other key
to invoke Help. Search on AutoKeys in Help for details.

Thanks for your reply. This solved the problem. For anyone else interested,
the trick is:
1) Create a new macro. Name it "Autokeys"
2) Click View > Macro names from the top menu bar
3) Enter "{F11+}" in the Macro names column
4) In the "Action" column, select "RunCommand"
5) In the "Command" box, select "MicrosoftAccessHelpTopics"
6) Do the same to reassign another innocuous command, such as "beep", to {F1}
7) Re-save the macro.
8) Close and re-start Access (at least in my version).
