Hi,
I have several fields in an access form where one can input data. THese
fields cannot be made large due to the fact that there is space constraints.
However when one comes back to these fields and on focus of the field I would
like to get a pop up box for each field that will display the contents of the
box. I would appreciate if I can get some help with ideas to get started with
this issue. Thanks.

Click to expand...

Do you always want to have the control made larger?
Code the Enter event of each control:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

If you wish the user to select when the control should be larger, then
place that code the control's Double-click event instead of the Enter
event.
 
Thanks for your help fredg
I appreciate it. When I thought more about the best possible means to
implement this it will be via tooltip. Any further thoughts. Thanks.
