HelpButton Property

This is a Boolean property that specifies whether or not a Question (?) button appears in the title bar of a Form or SubForm. However, this does not apply if the Form has a maximise or minimise button which both take precedence. The user may obtain help by clicking on the Question (?) button and then on a control in the Form. It is up to you to provide the help by responding to the Help event on the control. The default value of HelpButton is 0.

If either MinButton or MaxButton is 1, then HelpButton is always hidden, irrespective of its value. This is a Microsoft Windows limitation.
