how to see long strings in ListBox in Access2000?

[jzurbo77]

In Access2003 when a string does not fit in the ListBox control, I can
left-click on visible part of the string and in about 1 sec a tooltip
balloon will popup and show me entire string.

When is Access2000 left-click does NOT show that tooltip. Maybe this
is turned off somewhere in Options? I did not find it...

How can I see long strings in ListBoxes in Access2000?

any ideas will be appreciated
thanks

That functionality wasn't in 2000 so you have to recreate it yourself.

So, in the Click or MouseMove event of the control you can put:

Me.YourListBoxName.ControlTipText = Me.YourListboxName

That will assign the current value of the list box to the control tip that
will pop up.
