Mo --

There are two significant problems here:

(1) When the user moves the mouse, that doesn't change the current row in the grid. You have to do some fancy dancing to do so, after which you can construct a tool tip.

(2) Then you have to display the tip next to the proper cell in the grid, which takes some more dancing. VFP won't do it for you -- you have to display it yourself.

I have had a solution for this problem for some time. I can provide you with the code for (1) above (actually, I've already done so in a previous thread, which I can track down for you).

The second issue is a little trickier, and what I use is so intricately bound up in my own classes that I could not extricate it for you.

Cheers
