Russell --

Yes, indeed, BalloonNotes is a great tool. As it happens, that wasn't the main point of this thread, however, since I wasn't interested in how to display the tooltips (notes), but rather in how it would be possible to allow a user to modify them at run time.

Turns out that I have a solution which works -- but it has never been used. (sigh) ... the interested user left the company, and everybody else wants me to do it.

>Just happened to see this . . . one way is not to use tooltips, but use BalloonNotes via the class at http://www.ctl32.com.ar/

>I use it and love it. Incorporated it into all my control classes. They each have a BalloonNotes property and a BalloonNotes_Access property which is normally RETURN THIS.BALLOONNOTES, but could be changed to some code that accesses a table and returns a value . . .
