2. Highlight the field that you want to add Help text to from the Tables & fields from database list box.
3. Click the Help Text button.

   The Edit Help Text dialog box appears.

   

4. Enter the Help Text and click OK when finished.

   When the user selects a field or field heading and holds the cursor over the selected item, the Help text appears in a pop-up window.
