Thanks for the reply but this isn't causing the problem. It's
definitely related to the 2 machines in question because the
database shows tooltips fine on a third machine. The 2
machines giving problems have identical software installed and
I think one of the applications must have changed something
when it was installed and wrecked my Access tooltips.
If I don't get an answer from the group, the only way that I
can see of pinpointing which application it is that's causing
the problem (if this theory is correct) is to install each app
one at a time on to the third machine and see which one wrecks
the tooltips.
I wouldn't worry about any of this, except that somebody at MS
has decided that we need the default tooltip of "Find Next" on
every newly created button in a database. If I can't see the
tooltips it's easy to miss deleting some of these. If there
is any way of turning the default off, I'd sure love to hear
about it. This, and the message that always asks if I'm sure
that I want to delete a graphic from a button, when I've just
indicated that that is exactly what I want to do, are 2 of my
pet peeves when designing forms in Access.
Now, now, you can't always blame M$ for Access problems. Open any
form in design view. select the command button, and open the
properties menu. Find the tooltip Text line on the Other tab and
clear out that line. I'll bet that it reads 'find next'
As to deleting graphics, why put them there in the first place?
