Thanks for that Dave, > Mark, for the Memo display make the controlsource of the grid column: > =Padr(Mline(<FieldName>,1),254)
I'd forgotten about that route. I put an editbox in the grid. It showed the first bit of the memo field as text or blank, which was fine, just not the tooltip bit. I really want the tooltip bit. There's not going to be reams of text, the red highlighting happens if there's anything in the field, and the tooltip would neatly show the (one to three) message(s). If it doesn't fire sometimes... Hmmm. > You could easily update it dynamically as you move up and down the grid > though. Ah, that would be good, I'd forgotten about that too. Hmm, that might make the error message tooltip show wherever they hover on the row, which currently I also can't do. :-( > As for grid highlighting try turning themes off. Ah, fabulous! Thanx, I'll try that.
