Add comments or labels in forms

A

AccessNovice

I am creating a form in Access and the it will have standard names for each
column. However, I want to have what is called a comment in Excel where it
pops up with a more detailed description so users know what to input.
Whether it is a label or comment, how do I make this happen in Access 2003?

Set each control's Control Tip property to whatever message you wish.
You can have more than one line by pressing Ctrl + Enter at the line
break.
When the user hovers over the control the message will appear.
