Red Triangle Comment Popup

[CementCarver]

Like in excel, when there's a red triangle in the corner of the field which pops up a small comment box, is there a similar functionality in Access that when a field
has either a comment associated with it, that a comment box can be made available?

Not really.

You could use the Tooltip property to show extra information.

RuralGuy,

So, in order to add such functionality, what would be your suggestion?

But how much information can the tool tip store? And can these tool tip comments be driven from comments in a table?

Each control has a Tag property that you could use for any function you desire. As Alex said, you could also use the ToolTip function. Here's an enhanced ToolTip that Stephan Lebans did years ago that might give you some ideas: http://www.lebans.com/tooltip.htm If you want a user to make changes to the text then that is a different story.
