[AccessD] Tooltips

Hi John,

I've been putting tooltips on all buttons in forms.  I don't put them
anywhere else.  With this 'pattern', my customers have told me that they
like to have the tooltips as a quick reminder, if they haven't used that
form for a while.

I type the text directly into the property sheet.

You can enter multi-line tooltips by holding down the ctl+enter keys as you
type the tool tip.  If you want a blank line, you must enter a space, or
else that 'blank' line will collapse when it is displayed.  This works in
Access - I hope VB is the same or similar.

Good Luck!
Dan

Does anyone actually use ToolTips in an organized aggressive fashion?  Like
fill them in on dozens 
or hundreds of controls in an application?

If so do you bother with a method of storing them in a table so that they
can be found and edited?
