tooltips on the tablet problem

[Tom Curtin]

I added a tooltip to control on an infopath form. When I use it on a regular
pc or laptop, the tip appears. When I use the same for on a tablet PC no tip
is shown. The system tips in design mode do appear when I hover the pen.
Any ideas?

Tom,

I have heard from some Tablet users that XP SP2 can cause a need in
other Office 2003 family programs to update drivers re tooltip
display. You don't mention XP SP2 explicitly but it may be worth
checking whether driver updates are available for your machine.

There is also a newsgroup microsoft.public.windows.tabletpc where
there is more Tablet PC expertise available.
