I forget how to do this every time. I had it set and then they swapped out
my PC.

How can I display the "tips" that appear under what I'm typing in for code.
For example; I type in "DoCmd." and then a list appears of options, or when I
click in DoCmd it would give me syntax.

Thanks.

Click to expand...

Open the VBA editor.
Click on Tools + Options + Editor
Place a check in the Auto List Members check box.
 
Switch to a VBA window
Select Tools: Options from the menu
Select the settings you want. - probably you want Auto Quick Info and Auto
List Members checked. In addition, I would ALWAYS check Require Variable
Declaration.
