>I have a form that has a lot of data pertaining to a record. Due to space some of the text boxes are small and hard to read. Normally these text boxes are just along for the ride. However, occasonally someone needs the info. Those with crisp monitors and keen eyes can read the data okay. But us with less than perfect eyesight have trouble. I want to use a ToolTip technique to temporarilly enlarge the text/data when necessary. Any ideas?
