How do you provide context-sensitive help for your database?

1) Use text pop-ups. You can also use @DBLookup's in pop-ups to look up code in a "help" database; this allows you to let someone edit the help in a centralized place instead of on the documents or forms.

2) Use a button that opens a help document in a help view.

@Command([FileOpenDatabase]; @DbName; "helpview";Key;"1";"");
@Command([OpenDocument]; "0");
@Command([FileOpenDatabase]; @DbName; "helpview";"";"0";"");
@Command([FileCloseWindow]);
