Halp

Halp Add-On for Microsoft Access

Halp is an integrated help authoring and display tool for Microsoft Access applications. It consists of a set of Access objects that a developer can add into an application to provide both context sensitive help topic authoring (via Ctrl-F1) and help topic display (via tooltips, or F1). Help content is stored in Access tables, and displayed as pop-up tooltips, or on the Halp help form which is a standard Access form. With Halp you don't need an external program to create or display context sensitive help content, it's all done from within your Access application.

Supports Access 2013!

With Halp you can:

  • Save time and money by using a simple and effective help system to reduce user technical support calls and increase application usability
  • Enter help content for the active control by pressing Ctrl-F1
  • Enter help content for a control, a form, or for your application
  • Enter help content at runtime
  • Enter rich-text help content (Access 2007 and later)
  • Protect help content with a password
  • Allow power users to enter help content
  • Save help content along with your applicaiton front-end
  • Display help content either as a tooltip, or on a familiar looking help form by pressing F1

Halp consists entirely of Access objects and VBA code so it is easy to distribute with your Access application.

Supports Access 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2013
