You can use the GotFocus Event of any Field to Update the Caption of the Form, and the LostFocus Event of that Field to clear the Caption of the Form.

Also, every control has a STATUS BAR TEXT property that you can set either at design time or at run time.

And if you use the Control Tip Text property you can set the text to those little baloons that popup when you put your mouse over a control.

The status bar setting is a property of any field, and can be set or cleared using VB in the events described above.

Well, in whatever event you want to use (not sure which would fit for your stuff, but you can play with it) you would use:

Me.YourControlNameHere.StatusBarText = "Whatever you want"

Consider the fact that if you turn a status on when a field gets focus, you might want to turn it off when that same field loses focus as well.

Well, considering you say you tried something and it didn't work and you want to know why - I would remind you that we are not mind readers. We do not see what you see. So, you must describe FULLY what you tried, what code you tried, etc. so that we can look and see if we spot a problem. But just telling us you had a problem is about as useful as telling us that there will be weather today.

It worked out..

Thank you very much...

The status bar text will not change when the mouse is over it, it will only change when the cursor is in the control.
