Hi, Sean: Thank you for responding.
Yep, I've tested that, too. It appears to work for fields that actually have the "white space" for entering text, but not for fields that "display as text". It seems to behave just like the text trim fields so it doesn't work. It only works when I don't display as text. Also, in our case the text has to be a certain color, etc. I know I have a couple of workarounds for that, too. One of the workarounds I have for text color is to make the field label dynamic, while making the data length 0. I've only been able to hover over a field label using a call to a js file. My preference is to NOT use a file that has to be carried from server to server. Or, where the actual text and field IDs have to be hard coded. I would prefer to use a single run process statement that I can make a little more dynamic. So we're back to square one. The text has to be a certain color and it has to allow hover text. I may get desperate and use the hard-coded js file. However, it still doesn't solve the problem on how to get the hover to work on trim fields. Thank you again for taking the time.
