Re: [MS_AccessPros] Screen Tip

If i try to remove the caption, I get a message 'The command name can't be blank'. I am using Access 2003.

Maybe captions are over-riding the screen tip. Delete the captions -- shouldn't use them anyway ~

I'm stumped. The tips should show up. Can you test on another computer? Have you tried rebooting the computer to clear the memory?

Crystal: does not show up at all.
Bill: If I remove the Screen Tip, it automatically defaults to the Caption. Even if I turn show screen tips off, it still defaults to the caption.

Did compact and repair, but still does not work.

As long as you have some text in the screen tip field it should show. Try tricking Access and remove the tips (I'd copy them to a text file and save it for pasting back). Then compact the DB and add a couple tips to see if they start working.

I customized my menu and entered text in the Screen Tip field. I thought this text would show when the mouse hovers above that option, but it does not show anything. The only Screen Tips that are showing are where 'Begin a Group" is checked and "On Action" is empty or perhaps because those are in Main Menu and the ones that are not displaying the Screen Tip are Custom Pop Ups.
I checked the options and 'Show ScreenTips on Toolbars' is clicked.
What am I doing wrong?
As always all help is greatly appreciated.
