Using the Microsoft Office Assistant in Microsoft Access

To use Microsoft Office objects, including the Office Assistant, from Microsoft Access, you must first set a reference to the Microsoft Office object library. Click References on the Tools menu while in module Design view and select the check box next to Microsoft Office 9.0 Object Library.

If you fail to set this reference, you'll get a compile-time error, "User-defined type not defined", when you try to use objects in the Microsoft Office object library.

Note   The Office Assistant isn't available in the run-time version of Microsoft Access.
