pop up menu???

[viperstingray]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way that I can create a 'message' that will appear whent he mouse is scrolled over a button. I have command buttons that launch my reports but would want the user to know what fields are included in each report...therefor, they can put the cursor ontop of a certain button and a small list will show them what is in that specific report

Cheers

Can't you just do a regular form and the mouseover event? Or maybe use the ControlTip Text feature?

Searching is such a novel idea.

Check out the mouseoverpopups.zip sample I have posted in the OnMouseMove? thread or the funwithbuttons.zip sample I posted in the Mouse over actions thread. They will point you in the right direction.

The contro tip seems to do the trick...there is only one problem though. It only does it when the command button in question has focus. Do you think there is any way around that?
