Add Comment To A Text Box

[Agamemnon]

Hi,

Can someone tell me if you can add a comment to a text box (I mean a comment like one can add in excel and that pop's up if you stand on it with your mouse)
The comment should display information that can be retrieved in existing tables.
I would like to use the comment to put extra information into it, without making the basic report visually heavier.

Relatively Urgent Question for me

Thx,
Agamemnon

You mean the ToolTipText property?

I don't know if it's that property? I'll look after some info on it. Thx

Hello Mile-O-Phile,

Do you think I can use this property also on a report.
As I don't know a lot of VB maybe you can help me out.

My query 'Info' has the following fields: Type, Subtype and Subsubtype

In my report 'Calendar' I have a textbox 'Txtname' that displays the field Type. Know I want to pop-up the fields Subtype and Subsubtype when you hoover over the textbox 'TxtName'. How does the code has to look like

I've found some info on the controltiptext, but it was used within forms in the mouse event.

Thx
Agamemnon

There is no property such as this on a report. Where form's are manipulable and therefore it's a good thing to have that extra "what this is" scrap of info, a report is just a basic printable page. You can't manipulate them.
