HelpContext, HelpFile Properties (DAO)

Microsoft DAO 3.60

HelpContext, HelpFile Properties

           

  • HelpContext — returns a context ID, as a Long variable, for a topic in a Help file.

  • HelpFile — returns a String that is a fully qualified path to the Help file.

Remarks

If you specify a Help file in HelpFile, you can use the HelpContext property to automatically display the Help topic it identifies.

Note   You should write procedures in your application to handle typical errors. When programming with an object, you can use the Help supplied by the object's Help file to improve the quality of your error handling, or to display a meaningful message to your user if the error is not recoverable.
