Jan,

If hints won't do the trick, then one thing you can do is create a simple
form with a dbmemo and use that to display either plain text or RTF data
from a table.  On the form where you want to place the help, create a button
that loads the form with the appropriate information.  Or simply place a
label with a flyover color and an on-click action to do the same.

Other ideas:

- create links to PDF files stored on the drive
- create links to HTML code stored on the drive

Group,

I need to put together some rudimentary help instructions in forms.
I think some of you (Sami?) have done this but was just looking
for general feedback.
