Is it possible to make the Custom Properties appear in a box or window by
hovering the mouse over an object

Hi Loboexe,

If you have used the ShapeSheet, you can use the Comment field in the
Miscellaneous section to get this done. The Comment cell corresponds to
Insert > Screen Tip, but via the ShapeSheet, you can enter formulas. You'd
want something like this:

Comment = Prop.Cost & CHAR(10) & Prop.Duration & CHAR(10) & Prop.Name

the CHAR(10) will give you a new line. Give it a try and let us know!

Thanks for this Chris, can the same method be used to make one shape
reference the cust prop's of another ? by putting in a shape id or something ?
