WhatsThisButton Missing In Access 2007?

[TomT]

This could be a show-stopper for me, is there anyway to get this
functionality back? We use this fairly extensively in our apps/help systems.

Why was this removed? I was hoping to migrate our front end db's to Access
2007 from 2003, but this may kill the move all by itself....

Hello Tomt,

According to the following article, the WhatsThisButton is removed in the
object model.

I am contacting the program manager of Access 2007 for why they remove it.
I will update once I get response.

You may want to check with the PM for Help, not the PM for Access.

If I recall correct, the Whats This Button is part of the Help system, not
part of Access.

It appears we're not going to get an answer on this.....

I'm holding off moving to this version until I can find out what's going on
