Anyone got any idea how to imitate a mouseover event in Ms Access 2002/2003?

I have the feeling I'm probably onto a loser here

You can use the MouseMove event of a control to determine when the mouse is over it ... could probably make some sort of MouseOver event on your own utilizing MouseMove, MouseUp, and MouseDown.

Basically, I want to be able to determine which record row the user is hovering over, even if the user has not clicked on that row.
This would allow me to look up the Ident, etc for that row and react accordingly.

Might be better off creating a webpage from the database file, and tying in a little bit of CSS to add an automatic hover effect on the rows.

Mouse events are tricky in Access ... I tried to simulate the effect of a mouseover event on the form, but to no avail.

Sorry I couldn't be of any more assistance.

There is a function that allows for a mouse over type event. Look in the properties box under the Other tab for the ControlTip Text line. Enter the desired text into this field and, when in the form view mode, you can see the text when you mouse over the title of the field on the form. I hope this helps.
