Can I use a field as a tool tip?

[Brian]

I would like to display the contents of a field as the tool tip that displays
when I hover my mouse over a control. Can anyone tell me if this possible?

Code that control's MouseMove event:
Me.[ControlName].ControlTipText = Me.[ControlName]

What does this do for the user that simply looking at the control
doesn't do?

Just add .value to what Fredg suggested.

Me.[ControlName].ControlTipText = Me.[ControlName].value

Actually, as a control's value property is the default property, the
code can be written either way and return the same result.
Me.[ControlName] is equivalent to Me.[ControlName].Vaue
