like a tooltip but with variable info on MouseOver

Does anyone know if there's a way to get a value to pop up like a tooltip
when you mouse over a field? I want the contact's phone number to pop-up in a
tooltip fashion when you mouse over the ComboBox with their name in it. I've
got a ton of info on a screen & it's way too busy to put everybody's # on
there.

I'm learning VB the hard way - through cut & paste, so please spell it all
out for me if you can.

thanks

Stephen Lebans has worked out a way to do this and posted a sample
database containing the code on his website, at

I can't speak to how easy it will be for a VB novice to implement it,
but I expect he has some instructions in the sample.
