Help Box Question

Hello,

I have an access form with a list box. My users are not very computer savvy
so when I put this database into production, I was wondering if it possible
to place a link of some kind next to the list box that says "help?" so if the
user scrolls over it with their mouse a little message pops up saying
something like "You must hold down the control key while making selections".
Just thought it might be helpful not really a need more like convenience.

Thanks!!!

Objects on the form have a property called Control Tip Text. This is what
displays when the mouse hovers over the control on the form. You can either
put some text in this property for the listbox itself, or create something at
the side of the listbox as you suggested and put the text in there. Whichever
you prefer.

I always wondered what that was, now I know.
