There are several ways that you can provide documentation for your solution, including a printed manual, an online Help system, and an About layout that is available from any layout in the solution.Create custom About and Help layouts that document what your database solution is, how to use it, and where users can go for more information. Then use the custom menus feature to attach scripts to menu commands that open the About and Help layouts.
