Field Comments/Pop-Ups

[MCatz]

Hi Access gurus,

Is there an easy way to create a "comment" when you select a field similar to what you see in Excel. I see an option for text in the status bar, but I doubt anyone will actually look there.

Something similar to this:

You can use the ToolTip text of the text box, which mostly works. Or the On Mouse Move event, to trigger some pop-up form. I do not know any other solutions - perhaps someone else has a bright idea?

Not sure what you mean here.

I figured it'd be some kind of event in the On Click, On Got Focus, or something along those lines.

I do believe Spikepl was referring to the “ControlTip Text” field that is located on the “Other” tab under the Controls Properties.

Hi,

Why not use the Control Tip text property of that particular component/Control.
Its definitely Control TipText property

Good Luck

Yes, 7 months ago spikepl was talking about the Control Tip Text property of a control. No need to ressurect old threads.

MS Access DTM Picker - Query - Reg

Hi VBANet,

I am working on MS Access 2010 and am wondering if there is a way to
cross out the dates from a date picker (*Like in travel agents
websites)

For example I've got two text boxes which have a datepicker attached
to them. It works fine but then I want to add this functionality where
it crosses off or deactivates all the dates depending on the other
text box's value.

In my case I've got two textboxes called from & to, I want to cross
off all the dates in the "to" DTM Picker prior to the date of "from".

I hope I have managed to phrase my query properly.

Many Thanks
Shallo

Shallo9,

Please wait for a response from one of us on your thread.

Don't hijack an old thread because what you've just asked is not related to this thread.

The site has non VIPs that also answer questions because it's a forum so anyone can.

I was just telling you the way the forum works.

Welcome!
