Customised Tool Tip

[Guest]

Hi all!

I am developing an access application. I want to record which user has
changed which field and when on a form. I am storing this informaiton in a
field.

Since the space is limited, I want to display the name of user and time
stamp (of the user who edited that particular field) as a Tool Tip when
somebody moves the cursor over that particular field.

Could you give me a hint what to mention in the "Control Tool Tip" field, in
the field proprty.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

best regards
Avir

In the Current event and the AfterUpdate event of the form you would need
code...

Me!TextBoxName.ControlTipText = Me!FieldName
