MS Access Forum / Modules / DAO / VBA / March 2007ControlTip text not appearing
I have developed this database completely in Access 2003. The ControlTip texts I have placed for various controls is not appearing. This worked in previous version of Access. Is there a setting somewhere that is preventing these from appearing? > I have developed this database completely in Access 2003. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > This worked in previous version of Access. Is there a setting > somewhere that is preventing these from appearing? Make sure there is nothing that Access thinks is in front of the controls. Most often when the control tips aren't appearing, the designer has placed a box on the form, apparently surrounding the controls, but (as far as Access is concerned) actually in front of them. If you have such a box, select it and then click menu item Format -> Send to Back. Or else select the controls whose tooltips aren't showing and click Format -> Send to Front. If that doesn't work, let us know.  SignatureDirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) Apparently, this "feature" is not across all platforms. The tips do not appear when running the database on my machine. However, when I run the database from a brand new machine, they appear. Both machines are running XP Pro SP2. Both running Office 2003 SP1. Something has to be set differently on my machine. The only thing I can think of was with regard to macro security... > > I have developed this database completely in Access 2003. > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > If that doesn't work, let us know. This didn't work for me. Any other ideas? Thank you, Karl > > I have developed this database completely in Access 2003. > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > If that doesn't work, let us know. |
