[AccessD] Combo-box control tip

Isn't it fun when they do that?  Control tips do work on comboboxes, but Access sometimes steps on its own feet.  Is there a box on your form with the combobox in it?  If so, send the box to the back and just to be cautious, bring the combobox to the front.   That's probably the  most common reason for tool tips to not show up on a form, because another control layer is on top of them.

Subject: [AccessD] Combo-box control tip


I added some control-tip text to several combo-boxes, but the text doesn't appear no matter how long I linger there the controltip does not appear. I've copied the text into the status bar so I can fake it for now, but I'd much rather have the control tip working. What am I doing wrong? I assume that since control tip is supported in the properties window that it actually works. Naïve?
