Hi

I am returning to VDS for a particular project after a 5-year absence so be warned that I might have a few questions!

First problem is that I have an edit box where I display a filename. I don't have room for the full path so I just display the filename and extension. So far, so good. However, in case I want to see the full path, I thought I'd put the entire filename with path as a tooltip to be displayed on a mouseover of that field. Again, fine so far.

Now comes the problem. I permit the field to be updated by hitting a Browse... button next to it which performs a @filedlg and I update the filename in the dialog with a DIALOG SET but... how can I update the tooltip since it is still showing the full path to the original file. The only way I can think is to destroy that dialog element and recreate it anew every time.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Excellent! Many thanks. Now why didn't I see this in the Help file when I looked. D'oh!

Thanks again.
