textbox information

[JohnE]

Hello. This might be a simple matter to do but I am not that familiar with
it. I have a textbox that is bound to a memo field so the user can type
notes into it. This is on a continuous form and it would look/work better if
the textbox (memo field) is only one line in height. I have the textbox with
a double click event that shows the zoom box. What the users are asking for
is to be able to hover the mouse over the textbox and the info appears much
like a tool tip box does, but with the notes in the textbox.

Is something like this possible? If so, how is it done? Is there some
resource(s) available regarding it?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

.... John

A memo field can contain roughly 32,000 characters of data. Are you saying
that you want to cram 32,000 chars into a popup tool-tip box? Cuz that's
crazy.

You COULD create a MOUSEOVER event that pops up a new form that gets loaded
with the data from the textbox, but they'd have to close the form manually.
