Documenting Your Database, Creating a Database Help File

Creating support documentation:

 

There a couple options for providing support documentation for a database that you have developed:

  1. External documentation (Word document, HTML file,…)
  2. Help file and associated to various areas throughout your database
  3. Creating an Access Report within your database

Developing support documentation for your database is a enormous subject to cover and there are entire sites devoted to this exact subject. Below are a collection of what I consider to be the best of these sites:

Help Technology Centre – HTML Help with MS Access
TonyToews – Microsoft Access Help System Tips
HTML Help from Helpware.net
Shelpm help file software (free – very easy to learn and use!!!)
TechNet Information (Microsoft)
HTML Help Information (Microsoft)
Knowledge Base Information (Microsoft)
More Help Information from Microsoft
