Marc,
CVAL can identify the form and field. You could have a table with a
column to ID form&field with the appropriate help text in another
column and another form to display the text... the trick is activating
the eep that displays the form.
I thought getkey might be put at the front of each entry eep, but
couldn't come up with a way to pass through the captured
keystroke if not the "help" key. It would be nice to avoid learning
another tool, but that may be the most direct solution.
