mouse over and help assistance

[lorm]

Hi

One irritable problem emarged recently. I've got databese in Access but I would like to place kind of question mark somewhere. When user moves pointer over it, some information (lighted rectangle would be the best) should appear (in javascript for html is possible and i suppose here as well). However I do not know how to do this. Could anyone help?

Hi,

In each form in Access there is an event procedure named On mouse Move...

It looks like it:

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

End Sub

For each moment with this procedure you obtain the coordinates of your Mouse!

If you know the positions where your text box have to appear, in your Form you can create a label or text box control that usually is hidden but on special event you say
Me![Mycomment].Visible=True

You need also tho change it's coordinates using the properties:
Me![Mycomment].Left=240
AND
Me![Mycomment].Top=150

And what to appear inside

If it's a textbox then

Me![Mycomment].="My comment"

If it's a label then
Me![Mycomment].Caption="My comment"

I think that as coding this is everything that you need for your case!

:)

Best regards!
