Access contains an online help system to help you use and lookup features of the program. You can access the help system in several different ways: by asking "natural language" questions or browsing the contents and index. You can configure Access to display tips and provide assistance when you start the program and while you are working.

If you want to find out what something on the screen does, ScreenTips provide useful information as you move around the screen and work with data.
