Where to find help files

[Guest]

In older versions of Access there were help files with a list of functions
with their arguments and examples of how to use them. My "office assistant"
can' seem to find things like that. If I type "dateadd" it says No Answers
can be found. Can someone indicate where to go to find things that.
Thanks

I've always wondered that myself. The only way I could find info on
functions like dateadd was by clicking the help button in expression
builder.

Microsoft has split it's help files into several different sections.
Functions like DateAdd are VBA functions, and you must be in a VBA
environment to get get VBA help.
Open any code module (or click on Ctrl + G to open the Debug Window)
and click on Help + Index + Functions (or if you know the name of the
function, enter the function name). Or simply type DateAdd in any code
window and press F1 (before hitting the space bar).
