Create Temporarry form without saving

[Michael]

Is it possible to create and open a tempoary form without having to
save it. i want to create an on the fly help window that gets created
and text added to it from VBA.

Any other ways to create a help page within access would be okay too.

Creating and deleting an entire form just to display HELP text seems like it
would add unnecessary complexity and overhead.

How about using a single form with fields to hold the HELP information and
just loading that form with the relevant HELP?

If I did that would I just populate the fields using the OnOpen event
or something?

That would depend. Where are you storing the HELP data? If in a table, you
could just "look up" a record.
