>I want to display a message on entry into each field. I had tried using the StatusBarText field but thought the bottom of the screen is to obscure (and not sure I wanted to set the status bar on anyway). I think what would be most useful is Tooltiptext, but when I enter text there nothing shows up. I believe that's because I'm developing in a form and there's no Showtips to turn on/off. Is that correct?
