Re: Using a ControlTip in Access 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello Rick,

I still cant get the control tips to work but the screen tips for the tool
bars work perfectly and they are basically the same concept, correct? So if
they work there really cant be a problem with XP. I do not have any themes
currently on my desktop other then all the defaults. I did find something
out. Is that I used another computer with xp (not sure if it had sp2) but
only had office xp not 2003. I wonder if that is the whole reason or do you
have control tips in 2003? I am running out of options. Thanks for all the
advice and help.
