Every time I open a tax page in Lacerte little blue ? shows on the form, I click off the Form Help prompt, but when going back to the same page later the ? shows again. Is there a place in Options that disables the blue ? icon?

Go to the Setup tab in your user options. Under program options change the answer to No for "Show form help icons in forms tab".

I am unclear on your question. Are you seeing these blue ? on FORMS when you go to the Forms view. 

Please give a specific example and maybe a screen shot. 

My guess is they are help issues and you can not make them go away.

Same here. I want to get rid of those as well, they get in the way.

I had never seen this feature before, but now that I have I see an easier way to turn it ON or OFF. Check the box at the top of the Form you are viewing. Here it is when viewing the 1040.
