Memo Preview

[ablatnik via AccessMonster.com]

Is it possible to have a for instance a mouse-over command. I am working on
a work request database and the form is exactly how I want it except for the
work request memo field.

Upon searching for a certain work request, one to infinity work requests
could be displayed. Having the request explained on the results screen make
the page look cluttered. What I would like to do is have per say the work
request number be a hyperlink to another form when clicked opening this
request into edit mode.

But I do not want to click on every work number to show what needs to be done.
I would like the mouse to pass-over the work request number which pops up and
shows a preview of the request memo field but goes away once the mouse looses
its target after passing over.

Is this possible?

If this is an ordinary bound form, you could have the mousemove event do
this:

Private Sub Text1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As
Single, Y As Single)
Me.Text1.SetFocus 'text1 contains the work request number
Me.Text15.Visible = True
End Sub
- where Text15 is a textbox with the preview data in it, that's visible
property is set to false in the current event of the form.
When the mouse moves over the text1, the text15 shows the preview. A click
event on text15 could then open up another form, etc.
