How to make info boxes

[Tim]

Hi

I'm creating a form and I want to have infomation appear in
a box when the users mouse movers over a button.

I created a table that contains an ID and Description.

ex: ID 1 = Exit Application
ID 2 = Click to access Order entries

When the users mouse hovers over the exit buttin I want the
info box to pick ID 1 from the table and display it in the
box. I'm not sure how to pick a pictular record.

I currently have a text box and in the Control Source
section I put { =[Info]![Description] } but I don't know
how to pick the actuall record number.

or is there a better way.

Thanks in advanced..

You don't need to create a table or do any coding. Mouse-over text is built
into Access.

Go the the buttons property box, on the OTHER tab, enter the text you desire
in the CONTROL TIP TEXT.
