ControlTipText speed - Microsoft Access / VBA

Is there a way to speed up the display of the ControlTipText so that
it appears to happen instantaneously rather than appear in a second or
two? Or perhaps there is another tree I should be barking up? Thanks
for any help you can offer.

Access does not expose a property to control the initial display
interval for it's Tooltips. It's been a while but if I remember
correctly Access does not use the standard WIndows GDI Tooltips or if it
does but they are heavily subclassed.
An alternative is the custom Tooltips class here:
http://www.lebans.com/tooltip.htm
A97ToolTip.zip is a database containing a custom ToolTip class for use
in A97 or higher.

A2KToolTip.zip is a database containing both an API and Form based
ToolTip solutions. The Form based solution can be used for forms in
DataSheet view.

Enhanced features include:

Selectable delay times for Toolltip to first appear
Selectable delay times for Tooltip to dissappear
Selectable Text Color
Selectable Background Color
Selectable Margins
Specify Tooltip size
Add a title to the Tooltip in Bold
Selectable Icon for the Tooltip
ToolTips for Lines, Boxes, any rectangular area on your Form

I downloaded the A2KToolTip.zip file and extracted the project. I've
tried different values for the "TipDelayIfHidd en" and
"TipDelayIfVisi ble" constants but the delay before showing the tips
doesn't seem to change. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help by the way.

How do I get the PC's Processor speed?

by: kyosohma | last post by:

Hi, We use a script here at work that runs whenever someone logs into their machine that logs various bits of information to a database. One of those bits is the CPU's model and speed. While this works in 95% of the time, we have some fringe cases where the only thing returned is the processor name. We use this data to help us decide which PCs need to be updated, so it would be nice to have the processor speed in all cases.
