Tool Tip or something else?

[Golfinray]

I would like when a user hovers on an open report command button, a pop up
form comes up and asks them if and how they want to sort. They would then be
able to push one of four command buttons I coded to sort the reports in
different ways. Is that possible or is there something besides a tool tip? Or
do I have to have code on the openreport button to do that? Thanks a bunch!!!

Select the button in design view. Check the list of events. Do you
seee any related to hovering or mousemove or anything similar? If not,
then perhaps a simple click event will do to bring up your form. Or
offer the sort options on the form with the OpenReport button.

Office assistant balloon works real well for me ... I show the balloon
when certain conditions are met, the user can select an option with
either keyboard or mouse. Looks to me like you'll have to use something
other than hover as the trigger ... A2003 help says that the mousemove
event isn't available on reports .. but you didn't say report command
button, did you? You may be able to use the mousemove event on a form
command button.

It took me several visits to the installed help on office assistant and
balloon before I began to grasp how they work ... I can post sample code
if you'd like.
