|Another developer within the company suggested expanding the use of the
|Status Bar and show the valid values there, but the development team is
|crying because it does not comply with Microsoft guidelines for status
|bar help.
Most of the research I have seen and considerable actual observation says that
very few people actually notice that any exists on the status bar.
There are other options, if you wish to discuss them with us, if Forte can get
mouseover events from specific data fields.
