Access help is poor
Since about Access 95 or 97, Microsoft removed any bookmarking or
"favorites" feature in the help system. CHM help is supposed to have a Favorites tab but I have found no MS products that use it yet. My question is, I use the help file mainly for looking up methods and properties for Access objects. Is there a better help system out there? If I use the Answer Wizard, none of the choices is, for example, "Report object". I have to search and search in oddball places just to find the object I want. I have the same issue with the Index. |

I use either VBA Help search or the Object Browser to locate all properties and methods. It's decent in A2002 and pretty good in A2003. OTOH, I also keep A97's ACMAIN80.HLP file as a desktop icon so I can have an index to search. -- Marsh MVP [MS Access] |
