I'm sure there's an easy answer to this....

How does one create a tool tip on a field, where the tool tip equals the value within the field?

For example:

Field Name: Hello

has a value of: How do you do?

If I highlight over this field, the tool tip will say "How do you do?"

I know it's something you add in the ControlTip Text field. I just can't remember the format....

Help!!!!

Hmmm. Doesn't the control named Hello already show 'How do you do?'? Why do you need the tool tip to show what is already showing, or am I not understanding your question?

Attached is a different tool tip demo..

Try this:

CODE
Private Sub Form_Current()

    Me!Hello.ControlTipText = Me!Hello

End Sub
