>You could expand this code to update a table that tracks ObjName, HelpContextID and HelpText.

Brien,

Hmmmm... Ok, I thank I see where you and Dragan are going with this. So, I could run this to determine what the current assigned IDs are in the app and use that to update the help table. Hey! I could also use it in reverse to check the help table to see what the users have added since last version, except, then how do I get the new ID into the property for the object at runtime? I can't...

This reminds me of something my father said years ago... He told me that although I might be the shiniest knife in the drawer, I was not necessarily the sharpest. :)

If it wasn't for the users' insisting that they be able to add help for objects on the fly, I would just use West Wind's application and deal with keeping up with the IDs... (sigh) ...
