Hi to all,
I would like to know if it is possible to have a comment box or msgbox
popping up when a user place the mouse pointer over a specific label and
when the the cursor is moved away the comment box or the msgbox disappear,
just like XP, when you place your cursor over a control and it show you
whant it is

I am using Access 2000

Thanks

Alain

Set the Control Tip Text property of your label.

That should work if the label is unattached.
