Claudine,

Say you would like to define a hint with "Company Name" when you
mouse over the "CustID" cell of DB Grid based on Customer table
in RRBYW14 (Running R:BASE Your Way! Part 14).

In order to achieve that goal, while in form designer:

01. Right-click on DB Grid control | Object Properties | Columns

     From the selected list of columns:

     Click on CustID | Column Properties

     Column Properties (CustID) | Hint Expression

     [x] Use Hint Expression

     Expression:

     Company IN Customer WHERE CustID = CustID

     You may also customize Hint Background Color and Hint Font,
     if you wish.

     Click on [OK] button to save Column Properties

     Click on [OK] button to save DB Grid Properties

02. Save the form and click on Run Form button or [Ctrl+F9] to
     preview

03. Mouse over on CustID cell and notice the "Company Name" for
     each CustID.
