Jul 11, 2003 #2 BillPower Programmer Nov 28, 2002 1,434 GB 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. Bill Upvote 0 Downvote
