With each evolution of Microsoft Office, the help feature is becoming increasingly web based. This allows for more extensive and current help than can be normally stored locally. Many times the distinction between what is local and what is web based is seamless.
You can get help by:
Pressing F1
Selecting Help | Microsoft Visual Basic Help from the menu
Selecting the question mark icon from the Standard toolbar
When you select help using one of these techniques, you will be taken to the Table of Contents window shown in Figure 7-18. Once in that window, you can search for a topic.
Access 2003 adds an additional search feature. For instance, if you want to find out information about using the Object Browser, type that into the Search field and click on the right arrow button next to it. In Figure 7-19, it returned 63 possible topics.
If you now want to find out information about the ProjectName property, you select that, and a new window opens with a description, as shown in Figure 7-20.
You can treat this new window like any other window by maximizing, minimizing, resizing, closing, and so on. You can even print the contents by clicking on the printer icon located at the top.
