Is it possible to have ControlTipText ToolTips (balloon tips) appear in
Access when fields are tabbed into, not just when there is a mouse-over of
the field?

Click to expand...

I doubt it, but if you give each control an entry in its StatusBarText
property that will be displayed in the Status bar as you move from one
control to the next.
 
Thanks - I have done that but the messages get sort of lost in the status
bar, I was hoping the "in your face" pop ups could be activated by tabbing.
Any other resources please feel free to respond.
 
It can get really messy if you have a lot of fields but I have on occasion
made a label with the tip info and set its visible property in the got focus
and lost focus events.
