Tool Tip messages

[Kjacob54]

I have six command buttons on an Access form. Four of the six buttons display
the tool tip message when the mouse pointer is over the button, two of them
only display the message when I tab to them and place the mouse pointer on
the button. The properties all appear to be the same. Does any one have
any suggestions why the contols are not responding the same?

It may be that there is some other control -- most often a box
control -- that Access considers to be on top of the buttons, and so
your mouse isn't seen as being over the button, but rather over the box.
In design view, click on the button to select it and then click menu
item Format -> Bring to Front.
