Mouse roll over

[Guest]

I have a form with a few command buttons. Each command button is labeled
with a general statement that describes the attached form. I would like to
create a more detailed description that pops up when the mouse moves over the
command button. I have tried a MouseOver with an Event procedure that sets
the visible property of a text box (containing the detailed description) to
true. This turns on the text box, but the text says, "#Name?" and the text
box does not disappear when the mouse moves off the command button. Any
suggestions? My simple MouseOver code is as follows:

Private Sub Command9_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As
Single, Y As Single)

Text23.Visible = True

End Sub

Just set the control's Tool Tip Text to what you want displayed. No code
needed.

you don't want a 'text box' but a 'label.' a text box looks for a formula or
a field; a label is just words. why they called it a text box i'll never
know. hope this helps.
