I have a field that must be filled from a list provided on the form,
there are ten choices.

The data is locked to prevent non standard entries. I have text
instructions in the properties but need them to show them when the
cursor arrives in the field.

Thanks,

Any reason you are not using a Combo Box with it's Limit To List
property set to Yes?

What about just using a Control Tip which will appear when the user
hovers over the control?

Or in the control's Got Focus event:

MsgBox "Do this or that"
 
Thanks Fred,

That is just what I needed.
