Show ControlTipText of a button without clicking it?

In Access 2000, I would have sworn I could see the controltiptext of a
button without clicking on it. Can this still be done in AccessXP?
If so, does someone have a code snippet showing how to do it? I can
only get it to work by clicking the button...

Thanks,
Pieter

The tip text should show without clicking, provided nothing else is
overlapping your button.

Really weird. Tested it out on a new form, and it works fine.
Removed any code that would interfere with it from the form that
didn't work, and it still didn't work. Time to rebuild...

Thanks!

Pieter,

Do you have the button in a box? If you do, selecet the button and then go to
Format - Move To Front.

Thanks, I got it sorted. I broke down and wrote code to assign the
ControlTipText by opening the form in design mode and interating
through the command buttons... works a champ.
