How do I show/display the actual text when my cursor moves within the field?
Something like the (yellowish pop up text box). The same effect when you
point to an icon on your desktop and the pop up box displays the description.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to "the actual text". You can
set the control's ControlTipText property to show whatever you want when
the mouse overs over the field, but it's tricky to do this on a
continuous form, because the record you're hovering over may well not be
the current record. If you're not on a continuous form, you can use the
form's Current event to set the ControlTipText property to whatever "the
actual text" is. On a continuous form, though, you need something like
what Stephen Lebans has posted at www.lebans.com .
