Using VBA help instead of Access help

I saw some information the other day about how Access uses excel's basic help when in queries, etc, but by pressing a key combination, one could get to the access vba help instead.

This would be really useful in queries to use the visual basic help instead of the default access help.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I don't know the key combination but if you go into the code window and press F1 there, you bring up the VBA Help instead. (You could try ALT-F11 to get into the VBE, if you use Access 2000 or higher -- don't know how it would go in 97)
