control tool tip

[JohnE]

I would like to use the control tool tip for providing definitions to the
users. I type in the information and it stays as a 1 liner. My main
question is can the tool tip be more then 1 line? If so what sets its that
way?
Thanks.

John,

Tool tips can be more than one line. Open your form in designer view and
select the control on which you want to add a tool tip definition. In the
properties window click in the area provided to enter your ControlTip Text.
Hit Shift + F2 to open the Zoom window. Type your definition and add a
CTL+ENTER where it is appropriate to have a line break. Click OK when
finished and save the changes to your form. Open the form in Form view and
move the cursor over the control to which you added a tool tip.
