Hi What I am interested in is to be able to raise an event when the mouse pointer moves over a control. Other languages (all visual event driven) seem to have such an event. Has anyone acheived something similar? What we are trying is to have microsoft like pop-ups over superfields showing extra detail. This then disappears when the pointer moves away. How many more releases of NewEra do you think it will take before the language has caught up with the leaders (VB, Delphi, FoxPro, even Access etc.) Bye for now Correct spelling in 'excelsys' to 'excelsis' for e-mail.
