rigor,
The Control Tip Text doesn't support calculated values, only text
strings.

Use a text control to calculate or derive the values you need. You
don't
indicate how you derive the values you need to populate the Text Control,
so I'll leave that to you.

I assume you have a field already on the form, that you want to
associate this "pseudo" Tip Text to.
(ex. [SomeField] and [MyTip])

You can make MyTip text control invisible, and on the Mouse Over event
of SomeField, make MyTip Visible.
Use the Mouse Over of the form to "re-hide" MyTip.

No, i have command button where the caption are name of some network port. I
want to on mouse move to show me basic information of the hardware which
existing on that network port (monitor,PC,printer, etc.), information like
manufacturer, model, network name.

Rigor,
Sorry, but I don't understand your question.
(What you have now... and... what you want to do.)
Whether it's a text field or a button, you will still have to use the
On Mouse Move event to display/hide the text control/s that display
the network peripherals information, and... "act/appear like a Control Tip
Text."
If you have many peripherals to list, consider using a continous subform
instead of a text control. Make that visible/invisible the same way.
The basic process is still the same... use Mouse Move to show/hide the
detail information.

Someone else may be able to pipe in on this thread with other
suggestions,
but if you don't get any more replies, you could certainly start a whole new
post.
