Put this line in the form's OnOpen event and again in the box's AfterUpdate event. There may be a way to get it into a single event, but I don't know what it is.

Me.YourComboBox.ControlTipText = Me.YourComboBox.Column(index for whichever column has the description you want to use)
'remember indexes start at zero, so column 1 would be index 0, column 2 index 1, and so forth

Example:
Me.CustomerType.ControlTipText = Me.CustomerType.Column(1)

Good luck,
CJ

thank you for your help, i found out what I was doing wrong.
I had this action for ON MOUSE MOVE which is kind of stupid. I should have put it ON CURRENT

So this is what I have now

desc.controltiptext=me.desc

and it works REGARDS, KUZZ
