Is there a way to "comment" records, fields like we do in Excel. Add comments to any cell. I had a user ask me & wasn't sure.

Thank you,

If they are using a form then there are a few places that you can utilize comment type information. It would depend on how much of a comment, and whether it is record specific. I use the status bar text to display little helpful information when the user enters a field on the form.

But, to your question, not like in Excel, that I know of .

Hi Julie,

I am not aware of any way to do it like in Excel. It is also advisable not to let your users work on data directly from tables and queries. You should use forms for all user interactions. With forms, there are lots of possibilities to do many things, including something like a "comment" feature.

Just my 2 cents...
