ControlTip Text Doesn't Work
I just noticed that control tips aren't working in any of my databases. I
recently installed Access 2003, and created a database in it, and noticed that control tips weren't working in my controls. I was using control tips with command buttons in the form header. But they also didn't work with the command buttons in the detail section, nor with text boxes in the detail section. I tried converting the file back to Access 2000 format, but that didn't make a difference, neither in Access 2003 nor in Access 2000. I also tried creating a new database in Access 2000 and gave a control tip text to an unbound text box in the form; but the control tip didn't show up there either when I moved the mouse over it. I am simply adding text to each control's ControlTip Text property, as I have done in the past, nothing more. But it seems that since I installed Access 2003, this feature doesn't work properly, neither in Access 2003, nor in Access 2000. Is there anything I can do to get this to work? Thanks! Neil

ControlTip Text Doesn't Work
IIRC, this may be a small bug.
Select on the problematic Control(s) and use the Menu Command Format / Bring to Front and (I think) the ControlTips will work. -- HTH Van T. Dinh MVP (Access) "Neil" wrote in message ink.net...

ControlTip Text Doesn't Work
Yeah, I tried that, and it's the same. Also, I tried it on a new database
with a new form with nothing on the form but a text box, and it didn't work. But here's something: I sent the database as-is to my client and he used it. Said that when he put the mouse over the buttons, the ControlTip text came up. So it's not something with the database, but with my machine. Something got screwed up, either when I installed Office 2003, or some other time. Anyone have any idea what file should be reinstalled to get the controltip text to work again? Thanks, Neil "Van T.

Have you tried "Detect and Repair..." under the Help menu?

ControlTip Text Doesn't Work
Sorry, no more ...
My databases seemed to get fixed by using the "Bring to Front" Menu command and my search on Microsoft Support Web site did not return anything regarding this problem. -- HTH Van T. Dinh MVP (Access) "sneagle" wrote in message ... I am looking for a solution to this as well. Any other ideas?

ControlTip Text Doesn't Work
I'm having the exact same problem. The ControlTip text does not display even
after trying the different suggestions mentioned. I also had 2000 and upgraded to 2003. If someone knows a solution to this problem, please advise Nathan "Van T. Dinh" wrote: Sorry, no more ...
