Access 2003.
Hello Forum
I have a contnuos Form with two textboxes (txtbox1, txtbox2). When I click
txtbox1 I would like it to display an instruction next to the txtbox telling
for example: "Enter or write the City Name". If possible not a MsgBox.

How could I get that? Or can anyone point me in the direction of some
documentation that might help me.

Many thanks

Hey,

you can add a controltiptext to yur textbox in the properties.
If you move your mouse on this control, this message will be displayed.

.... after a rather disconcerting two or three seconds delay.

Well an other opportunity could be the ToolTip class by Stephen Lebans:

Excellent. Now my form provides an easy way to use.
Is there a way to increase the font size of the controltiptext?
