I have a label field set aside for hints. I want hints to appear when the user hovers over any field.

I know to use the mouseenter command, but I cannot get it to work.

Here is my code:

on mouseenter
lblHints Contents = "Enter your First Name - this is a mandatory field!"
end mouseenter

This code does not work. What do I have to do to make it work.

Thank you.

Mike

Code: Select all

on mouseenter
   set the text of field "lblHints" to "this is a field"
  
end mouseenter

on mouseleave
  set the text of field "lblHints" to empty
end mouseleave
