Default Provide Help/Tutorial Form

Thanks to both of you for your valuable input. I was not aware that a "label"
type field can only handle a total of 2k characters. I suspect my
"Help/Tutorial" information form will exceed the "label" limit. Thus, a memo
field will most likely be my first choice.

I'd like to add a form to an operational database that the users can look at
for info on how to use the application; what to do if errors occur; etc. What
is the best way to provide the information ? A TextBox is limited to 255
characters; A MemoType has 64K characters; An Attachment - requires
availability of the underlying product (Word, etc.). A LabelType field ?

Recommendations ?
