With the Help Select mouse pointer, you can click any control to access its custom Help topic specified by the control’s HelpContextID property. If the control doesn’t have a custom Help topic, the form’s custom Help topic is displayed. If neither the form or the control has a custom Help topic, Microsoft Access Help is displayed.
