getting rid of helpbox on menubar

message from Silvester on 11 May 2004
In A2002 and A2003 the 'Type a question for help' helpbox appears on the
top right of the menu bar even if you use custom menus.

I hide all toolbars on startup using the autoexec macro.

How can I get rid of this helpbox ?

Hi Sylvester

On the menu bar, right-click the "Type a question for help" box.
Click on the "Show Ask A Question Box" to deselect it.

When you close the Customize dialog it will disappear.

Hi,

You have to use late binding because this property
(DisableAskAQuestionDropdown) appeared only in Access 2002/2003

Set o = Application

On Error Resume Next
o.CommandBars.DisableAskAQuestionDropdown = True

Hi Silvester

I'm sorry - I've done a bit of research on it but I don't know. Do you
really need to turn it on and off? Could you not just hide it for
everybody?
