Pop up Windows

[Guest]

I am new to Access and I need help with a pop up Window. I created a label
that I want to pop up when I enter a field. I have seen this before but I
can't find it anywhere. Can someone please help me out with this?

The window that will pop up will be used as reference. It has a lot of
characters.

Thank you.

What do you mean, a label that pops up when you enter a field? Labels
don't "pop up". That description doesn't make sense.

You "enter a field", ie. type some data into a control on a form. You
finish that process by, for example, pressing Tab or Enter to move to
the next control on the form. What exactly do you want to happen then?

When I enter into the field, I want a window to open up that shows reference
numbers to use within that field. This window will be large and contain a
lot of data. When you leave the field, the window will then disappear.

Is this a better description? Thanks for your help.

Paul,

Initially you indicated that you have created a label that you want to popup
when you enter a field. Then later you are refering to a Window.

If you have a label with a lot of text or other info in the label and simply
want to show this label when you enter a specific field, you can:
1) set the visibility of the label with the data to No
2) use the On Enter event of the text box where you are going to enter data
and place code like:

Me.NameOfYourLabel.Visible = True

3) use the On Exit event of the same text box and place code like:

Me.NameOfYourLabel.Visible = False
