This is a follow up. Tom went on to test additional scenarios and thereby prompted me to do so as well. This issue appears to be driven by the Hi Rez monitor drivers. In the end, we found that: Hovering over labels attached to controls with control tip text does display that control tip text...

If you have SharePoint in your organization, you can migrate the data to SharePoint lists. That is not the same as putting the BE in a SharePoint location.

Thanks for filling out the picture :) It certainly does appear to be a hardware problem.

I pulled it down to replace a bad reference. I'll put it back up. Please try again.

I finally tracked it down to a certain extent. It appears to be related to the fact that I have a 4k Hi Res monitor. I got it to display correctly briefly by dropping the refresh rate to 25 Hz, although it quickly reverted to the flashing mode. So, I am pretty sure it is caused by the...

It's beginning to look more like my specific computer. I fired up an older laptop with Access 32 bit runtime only. The control tip texts work correctly on it as well as on my 64 bit installation. So it's down to this specific computer and installation. Thank you all.

Slow, I would expect. It's in a subform and maybe there's some other stuf involved because of that. It should still work though. I'm repairing my 32 bit Office installation now, in case it has something to do with that. As I noted, it works as expected on my other, 64 bit, installation.

Only Books. The control tips do display, then?

Do you have 32 bit Access installed or 64 bit Access?

That's exactly what I want the user to see. It starts with an AutoExec macro that runs InitVars. The last line of code in InitVars opens the menu form. DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="frm_Main_Menu" And it also works correctly for me on my 64 bit installation! Now, I'm totally puzzled, unless...

Thank you.

Thank you.

One other note. Midway through setting up the original version I changed "genre" to "category" and "creator" to "author", but I did not revise the underlying tables to match the interface. Too much work.

The file is still too large to attach. I'll make it available as a download link instead. https://www.gpcdata.com/downloads/SVHSLTFLibrary_Local_AWFTest.zip What you need to know. I originally designed this to work with a cloud-based SQL Server back end, using the Google Books API to retrieve...

For me, it flashes just long enough to see the outline. And does so repeatedly while the cursor is over the control. I thought for a while the control had to have focus also, but further testing proved me wrong.

I'm only removing data, nothing else. It'll be messy, but the data is really not that confidential anyway.

No, but I could try to create a repro with sample data. Gimme a minute.

That didn't help. I completely disabled the image control with no impact. I'm beginning to suspect a corrupt form.

Not really. I replace the subform in the subform control for each menu item and the default subform on open has an image in it, but it is replaced by this subform. However, there may be something in the idea of images. I display an image of the book cover in an image control in the form, if...

I’m modifying an existing Access database for deployment to a non-profit. I decided to add control tip text to text boxes and combo boxes on one form since I don’t know what volunteers might end up using it. I figure it’ll help new volunteers add/update new books. This form displays as a...
