Forms: OnMouseOver Effect

Author(s)
Dev Ashish

(Q)    How can I create a OnMouseOver effect on Access forms?

(A)    The equivalent Access form event is OnMouseMove.  We can call a function to show the desired effect and then from the surrounding section's OnMouseMove event, call a function to remove the effect.

    For each label on a form, place a call to function fSetFontBold from their OnMouseMove event and pass the label's name as an argument to the function.

[OnMouseMove]    = fSetFontBold("lblThisLabel")

From the OnMouseMove event of the surrounding detail section, call the function fRemoveFontBold.

[OnMouseMove]    = fRemoveFontBold()

Create a form level variable.

Dim mstPrevControl As String
