Fabio,
A very neat trick.... I never expected that to work...
Walter,
>>
>>I have a button that opens a form that contains an edit box with a character control source. I would like to set the button's ToolTipText to the value of the cursor/field, in this case, lv_jobitem.citemdesc.
>>
>>Can this be included in an expression that is dynically evaluated by the button or would I have to phsically write the value of the data source to the button's tooltiptext property each time the record changed?
>>
>>If any one can help me, I would be very happy!
>>
>>Thank you,
>>
