Nope. You aren't missing anything. The Help files degenerated after Access
97, but Access 2003 Help isn't quite as bad as the first two attempts to
improve the MS Office Help files, if it's any consolation.
If you have a question about VBA syntax, type the key word into the "Type a
question for help" box on the menu in the VB Editor window, not the one in
the main Access window. Shortcuts to the VBA Reference and Jet SQL Reference
on your Desktop may help, too. The default directories for these two Help
files are:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VBA\VBA6\1033\VBLR6.CHM"
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\OFFICE<Version#>\1033\JETSQL40.CHM"
HTH.
