I have several forms that I would like to use the What's This Button on...

There are several different control, such as buttons and text boxes on my
form...

I would like a different explanation for each...

Where do I specify the What's This Button Prompt for each control?

I can't find it in the properties of a button etc.

TIA for any help you can provide.

In the form's Properties
Set Minimum/Maximum Buttons to None
Set What's This Button to Yes

Then you have to create a Custom Help file (put Custom Help File into Help
for instuctions)

Then for each control in it's Properties you have to set the HelpContextID
number which identifies the particular Help text to be displayed

Good Luck!
