Custom help for my app using hover, ?, anything but MS standard

[cormier35 via AccessMonster.com]

I've placed the ? on my app vs the min or max buttons but I'd like to launch
my text not MS standard help. Also, a hover help box when "mouse moves over"
without the "ok" box the event property only seems to have. That is, when I
use MsgBox on mouse over, I can type help but don't want to keep hitting ok...
just help to appear when hovering. Thanks in advance!!!! Al

I have my help in a table in the FE in memo fields. Then I have form
which displays the help text from the table. The command buttons use
a ? mark symbol and open the record appropriate to the help item.

What is FE?

The "Front End" of a split database application. The shared "Back end"
contains the tables; the "Front End" is the database with the forms, reports,
code, etc. which is distributed to each user.

If you have a multiuser database that is NOT split in this way, you really
should split it. See Tony's website for details.
