[AccessD] Can I mouse over a continuous form's control anddisplay the value?

I think the issue here is how to get the focus on the correct record so that
the mouse over event doesn't display the selected record's text in the
ControlTipText display. I think I know what you're after and I don't have an
answer for you. I've tried in the past but have quickly given up as the
mouse over event fires so frequently that it becomes disturbing. I've gone
to including an icon with the magnifying glass which simply opens a zoom box
form to display the entire contents of the field.

Best of luck to you and please post back if you do find a suitable solution!

Would it work to programmatically populate the controltip text property at
the same time the field is populated?  Perhaps the calculation could be done
in code subsequent to an event.  I think the controltip text property is
limited to 255 characters.

I have a control on a continuous form. It does not show all the text because
of size constraints. I want to mouse over this control and have the value of
that control for that record to show in the ControlTextTip property. 

The control is also a calculated field. 

Is there any thing any one can think of for me to be able to show that value
when I mouse over it?

I do not want to select the control either because there is code that will
fire in the On Click event.
Thanks.
