Hover Buttons

[chevy98]

Can anyone help me create hover buttons? I want my users to be able to hover over the form and be able to know how the report was created or how it is sorted. I have seached online help but I can't seem to find anything out about this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Terri

I'm stupid. I don't understand you question.

What I am trying to do is when a user highlights a control button that I have linked to a report, I want a little box to pop up over the button which tells the user how the report is sorted or how I created it... You know how you run the mouse over the icons on the top of the menu bar and it tells you what each does? That is what I want to create. Does this make more sense? I hope so, thank you for replying.

One solution would be the " form "MouseMove" event.

When the event fires, you're passed the coordinates (in twips) where the mouse was when it triggered the event. Given the coordinates, you have to figure out where you are.

Use the control tip text on the property sheet?

That's called ControTip Text and it's found in your Form Design View under Other. You can add a ton of text in there, but it's good to keep it short and to the point.
