Hi,

In short, you can't. But you can put a "tip" in the Status Bar.

In the Declarations Section of your Form:

Dim varReturn

In the On Enter event of your controls:

varReturn = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "This the tip!")

In the On Exit event of your controls:

varReturn = SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus)

Let me know how you get on.
