populate a text box with an on got focus statement

[Gorphus]

I am having problems finding out how to populate an unbound text box when a user moves from fields on my form. What I want to do is have a "Tips and Help" section that gives the user information about each field on my qbf search form. I have a table setup with all of the information that it is going to populate it with, in a memo field. I have it tried it by using Me.txtHelpNInfo = Me.txtHelpNInfo & "text here". It populates the box on get focus, but on lost focus it wont clear it. I have tried several things, and cannot get it. I may be going about this all wrong, but it was worth a shot.

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

Hi.

The only thing I know about this I found in "Help" in Access 2000.

I use the property "Control tip text" in the "Other" tab of the property sheet to enter information up to 255 characters long when the mouse is held over the control.

To build a help file, see the Access "help file" for "HelpFile and HelpContextID".
