Overview

Help tips are messages associated with fields and active objects in your forms in order to help users work with your database more productively. They appear in the form whenever the mouse moves over the field or object.

You associate help messages with objects either by entering them directly in the Property List, or by inserting a help tip reference created in the Help Tip editor.

For more information about associating help tips with database objects, refer to the "Help messages" section in Data entry controls and assistance.

Note: You can set the style and size of the font for the help tips displayed during form execution on the General page of the Database Settings.
