Is there a comment object in MS Access 2003?

[hankeat]

hi guys/gals

i'm a newbie in MS Access and i have a dumb question to ask. as stated
in the subject, does anyone know whether there is a comment attribute
in MS Access 2003?

what i intend to do is to have a comment box pop out when user mouse
over a field in a form, much like the function in Excel when users see
the comment when they mouse over a cell.

thank you very much for your kind help and time!!

Take a look at the ControlTipText property of the control (text box?) on
your form (in form design view.)

yes, there is.

The setting you are looking for is called "controlTip Text"

You can find this setting in the properties sheet for each control...the
"other" tab.

Also, sometimes, the tool tip text does not seem to show, the following
article should help:
