Help notes (1 Viewer)

Can anyone offer a suggestion for adding a note to an entry field on a form. For each text field I have, I would like to have a note or pop-up descriptor or something like this for that field. A label isn't enough of a descriptor. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks, Jim

You could try using the Control Tip Context Property on the field, although this will only popup when you hover over the field with the mouse pointer.

You could create a pop-up form with the help data on it for that subject. Then either create a button for help, or have set the on double-click property for the label open up the form.

Thanks guys. The control tip box is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again, Jim
