In Excel forms there is a possibility to use a moveable question mark called "Whats this button and whats this help" so the user can get help if the question mark is positioned on different places on the form.

How can I programme the helptext?

I would like to let the user to select the questionmark and place it on the form, and by that recieve help for the selected textboc, combobeox etc.

:confused:

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Have you tried setting the ToolTipText Property for the control on the form? It'll show some limited help for the control when you mouse over it.

Not really what I want

What I want is to be able to use the questionmark in the top of the formframe just left of the "X" Close form sign.

If the user clicks on the ?-mark and moves the ?-mark to a combobox the user will get information what to do there.
If the user clicks on the ?-mark it will be moveable to any place where there is information to get on the form.
