I haven't looked at Gustav's demo, but you certainly don't need any code  to implement 
context sensitive help on Access forms and reports.  Just create a .chm file  and enter the 
Helpfile name and a default context ID for each form that needs it and optionally specific 
context IDs for selectable controls.
