I cheat, even on systems where I have only Access 2003, I reuse the old 97 help files. I also have desktop shortcuts to the adosql.chm and XMLsdk.chm ado260.chm etc. help files. Then when in access I just do a WinKey-M keystroke to get to the desktop. This keystroke just miminizes all open windows. The best bet for vba coding help is to retain the Access 97 help files and access via a desktop shortcut. You need all the .HLP, .AW, .CNT, .GID, and .FTG files from access97 that are installed in Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared Zip them up for later installs elsewhere into a new directory run a shortcut to ACMAIN80.HLP There is a way to put this on your command menus in Access via a button =Shell("C:\WINDOWS\winhlp32.exe C:\msoffice97\office\Acmain80.hlp", 1) Julie Reardon-Taylor wrote: >Wow, I couldn't find anything in 2003 that would help me.
