We manage help tips this way:
- For each object, select the On Mouse Enter form event
- We have a Help Tip named "HelpText" which simply contains a variable,
tHelpText. Select that Help Tip for each object.
- On the object, populate the tHelpText variable in the On Mouse Enter form
event.

With this scheme, you can customise your help tips in lots of creative ways
- e.g. depending on whether the user is on Mac or Windows, what day of the
week it is, what level of access the user has, or whatever. I also find it
much easier to manage the tips as you don't have to deal with a long list
of Help Tips.
