Control Tip Text

[Kieron White]

Hi,

I have been asked to add some text which pops up whenever the user moves the
mouse over certain text. I am aware of the Control Tip Text Function however,
using this method does not provide me with enough space to write what is
required.

I am looking for a similar function which will allow me to add about 10
lines of text.

Is there an additional function or way in which I can add this amount of
text to a mouse over or Control Tip Text function?

Many Thanks In Advance,

Kieron

Add a label with the 10 lines of text over your text box. Set the Visible
property to No, and write some code in the Mouse Over events of the text box
and form detail section to show and hide the label.

The ControlTip Text is limited to 255 characters, not by the number of
lines. If your total text is under that amount, you can add new lines
by entering Ctrl+Enter where needed.
