How to display tool tips dynamically at run time

[uticket]

For example, I have an office Report. The office name is too long to be there. So I only list the office ID.

If the people want to know office name, I want them to put mouse over the office ID, then office name will appear as tool tip.

I use Formula, which is the office name, as the tool tip text. But all the office ID get the same name: the first office's name.

What can I do to show the office name dynamically?

THanks!

Hi uticket,
I just tried to work with a similar scenario and the tool tips were dynamic.
Can you check you are giving the 'office name' in the formula.
Another way to test this is to place the 'office name' field side by side with the 'Office ID' in the report and see what the result is.

Thanks. I simple draf and drop the office name to the formula.
There is nothing else in the formula. I do not how the Crystal Report will be able to display the name dynamicically.

Thanks!

I know why it does not work now.
If I use stardard report, tool tip could be displayed dynamitaclly, if I use cross tab or chart, they can not.

I am using the CR bundled with VS.net, and have met lots of similiar problems.

Hope the MS Report Service is better than Crystal Report.
