Is it possible to force a tooltip to stay open (or timeout) for a pre-determined length of time, and/or to close it once it’s opened, when they search for records? For example, I have a tip that shows the client all the date search options available to them. Specifically, they want to be able to see the tip while entering the search criteria, and then just have it go away when they perform the search. I've played around with using @MsgBox() but they don't really like that they have to click to open it. I know, I know, maybe a little lazy, but they asked, LOL.

Thanks

Great idea, works very well!

Thanks Mark.

Thanks for the suggestion Carl.

To combat the room problem, I assigned the static text to selection layer 2, which put it on top of everything else on the form.

Works like a dream!

Thanks to some tips from Bill Halpern some time ago, I'm using selection layers more and more for things like thicker borders around LE's and boxes, and dressing up command buttons in menus, etc. It's pretty cool once you get the hang of it!
