How are you flagging Tool Tips?
Posted: Tue Dec 20, 2005 10:52 amI was just wondering what people are doing to let their users know where tool tips are.
We have a couple environments where we're making lots of constant changes and needed a way to let users know that a tool tip might be present where there wasn't one yesterday. At the same time, we have users on both 7 and 8 (big place, and they just can't get to everyone's machine) so we came up with this little yellow icon...
The message above runs when someone clicks on this from within FileMaker 7, a slightly different message appears if they are running 8. BTW, you can select Show / Tooltips in layout mode (just like you can show buttons) in case you've forgotten where they all are.
