Controlling Tool Tips

[John Big Booty]

I have set up a piece of code to makes the tool tips for a List box, show the contents of a memo field, that relates to the record in the list that currently hold focus.

All fine no problems.

My question is, is there a way to control the size and shape of the tool tips, or is that purely related formatting and size of the text in the memo field?

That's a Windows thing so no, there is no way to control the size or font (except possibly by an API but it would affect all tool tips on their computer).

Since you're a memo field for this, be aware that Access has a 255 character limit on tool tip text.

Thanks Guys

I've since found this sample by Steve Lebans, which I'll have a play with.

Like the crew of the Enterprise, Lebans often goes were "no man has been!" Cool link! I'll add it to my reference section!
