I meant that I'm using MouseMove and MouseLeave, but you are saying to just use MouseMove? My form doesn't popup regardless of whether I move across columns or whatever. How did you use MouseMove to accomplish this with the record pointer? I'm a little desperate, so if it's money you want... <g> But I'm a little serious too...

>The problem with MouseEnter and MouseLeave in a grid is that they only occur when you move out of the column ... they don't fire when moving up/down within a column.

That means you also have to jump thru some hoops to determine what record really corresponds to the cell where the mouse is hovering.

>>>So you don't really need a form, do you, just something which will appear when you hover? For instance, it could be an object in the same form as the grid, correct?

>>>>>I see Gary has given you a technique that sounds like it will work. Out of curiosity, do you want the popup form to receive focus or just hover off to the side somewhere? Receiving focus might not be that great from a UI perspective. A user who simply passes the mouse over a grid, accidentally or on purpose, might not want to be tossed into a new form. And s/he might get dizzy if the mouse passes over a range of grid cells, a whole series of forms opening and closing. Asteroids!

>>Well, I was using a small form as an object on the main form; oForm using the visible property to make it appear/disappear. I put another textbox directly on the main form and it works fine, but I have some sort of issue now with the MouseOver and MouseLeave not working for the textboxes in the grid.
