message appears when hover over Command button

[rkaria]

Hi All

I would like it so when users hover over a command button a message appears.

The command prompts open up reports, but they have to put certain criteria in text boxes for this run. There are that many different reports with different criteria its hard for users to remember everything. So I thought when they hover over the command prompt that opens report a little message appears to tell them which criteria needs to be entered.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance

With your form in design view select the Command button and open the Properties pane and go to the Other tab type the text you want to appear on hover in the ControlTip Text field.

"ControlTip Text" not working for my Form. I don't know y? to Display a msg, I have to click it first. It becomes useless then. Why it is doing so? Help me...
