In A2002 and A2003 the 'Type a question for help' helpbox appears on the
top right of the menu bar even if you use custom menus.

I hide all toolbars on startup using the autoexec macro.

How can I get rid of this helpbox ?
 
Hi Sylvester

In Customize mode (Tools > Customize):
On the menu bar, right-click the "Type a question for help" box.
Click on the "Show Ask A Question Box" to deselect it.

When you close the Customize dialog it will disappear.
 
Hi Graham,

How can I manipulate this using code ?

Thanks !

I'm sorry - I've done a bit of research on it but I don't know. Do you
really need to turn it on and off? Could you not just hide it for
everybody?

Hi,

You have to use late binding because this property
(DisableAskAQuestionDropdown) appeared only in Access 2002/2003

Set o = Application

On Error Resume Next
o.CommandBars.DisableAskAQuestionDropdown = True


Max
