Hi,
I would like the form to display instructions when either you hover over it
or in the status bar or as a popup. However, using the ControlTip I think
you're limited to 255 characters and I need more!
Anyway you can get more? Or a work-around?
Thanks!
Nicky

Click to expand...

I have no idea what the control tip text limit is, but 255 characters
sounds reasonable.
If you need that much instructions, I would suggest you code each
control's double-click even to open an unbound form with whatever
information is needed for that control.
Open the form in acDialog:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmInfo", , , , , acDialog,"This is the information to
display on the form" & chr(13) & chr(10) & "More info here."

Code the frmInfo Load Event:

If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
LabelName.Caption = Me.OpenArgs
End If
