Thanks Steve. Finished setting my solution up this way and it looks good/works well. Tool Tips were indeed a great enhancement in 8!

Hi Steve Yes, they are. I have tried separating out the repeating label fields individually over each button, and placing the tool tip over the transparent background of the label field, sized to match the button's area. Its a work-around solution, thanks, but its more time consuming to set up!

I have a row of buttons used in multiple layouts, and I have put individual tool tips on each of them. Trouble is, I have labelled the buttons with a repeating field of names. The tool tips only appear if the cursor is over the edges of the buttons, not in the centre where the repeating field and names lie. Not the easiest for users! Has anyone found a way around this without sacrificing the editing flexibility of naming with a repeating field?

I know the new tabs in FMP8 are not for layout navigation, but I tried anyway! They look great across the top of a layout, especially with embossing, etc., and with the "body" reduced to a strip where you could insert secondary navigation buttons under the main tabs. So my idea was to overlay transparent scripted navigation buttons over the tabs. It works, but only on the second click! I don't seem to be able to bring forward the overlaid button above the tab to put it at the top of the stack. The first click is still on the tab then the second on my navigation button. Can anyone see a way round this?
