Albert,

Thanks for the reply.

And, of course, I looked first in the Help menu. Well, not really first
because I would expect to find it in Tools, but Help is an option.

However, my Help menu does NOT show Microsoft Visual Basic. It shows:

I did not just say look in the help, I spent a rather considerable amount of
time explaining that there is two help systems....

Apparently, you not bothered to read my post.

The help for coding and a nice laid out function list of commands is to
found when you are in the code editor.

I am not sure, but somewhere along the way you must have stopped reading my
post.

Try hitting ctrl-g, you should get the code editor...try the 1st option in
the help menu....

It not clear what version of ms-access, but the last two 2003 and 2003, the
1st option is a visual basic reference....

I don't have 2002 or 2000 handy, so it is possible that earlier versions
don't have that help I am suggesting.

Just re-read my post again. I explained that coding and function help is
ONLY available when in the code editor. When you are in forms, then you "END
USER" help. As I stated, this makes sense as some people will use ms-access
for years without writing ANY code, and it would make little if any sense to
clutter up the help system for these users.
