Hyperlink to different part of same (very long) form

[Big Pat]

I'm writing some "Help" for an Access database that I've created, but lots of others will be using.

All I can think of is to type it all into a form which is then displayed when the user clicks a button I'll create on the menu. As it's going to be a long form, I want to put a "Contents" section at the top, with hyperlinks to relevant sections further down.

Is there a way to make one label (cos that's all the text is) hyperlink to another label in the same form? Or should I be going about this in a completely different way?

I've read a lot of the hyperlinks Q&As in the forums, but haven't found the answer to this yet. Thnaks in advance for any help.

I played around with this a bit and found this:
I used the setfocus command. You cannot setfocus to a label from the looks but you can a text box. So, if you place a one character long text box next to the label that you want to link to, then on the top use the setfocus command in the onclick event of you link, it will take you to the area you want to go to. I would set the text box to locked.

Just one idea

Now that's lateral thinking, which is why I love this place so. I'll give that a go on Monday (much too late on a Friday now for that kinda thing!!) Sounds like it'll work.

Thanks for your help.

Just use text box's rather than labels. You can lock the things and format them the same as labels.

Thanks Peter, sometimes it takes someone else to point out what should have been obvious!
