Sometimes, when hovering the mouse over form controls, the ControlTip Text for the controls does not appear.

Had this problem for months. It occurs on some PCs but not others, which have had identical Windows / Office builds.
Have not been able to figure out why it occurs in some environments, but not others.
I've been able to recreate the issue reliably for days on end, then suddenly it starts working again...for a while.

A PC which has shown the issue:
OS Build Windows 10 Pro
Version 1809
OS Build 17763.1098
Access 2016 (16.0.4924.1000) MSO (16.0.4939.1000) 32-bit

To recreate:
- Make a form with some controls with ControlTip Text, and a TimerInterval of 500ms or less
- Add some code to Form_Timer event to do something simple, like update a label on the form
- Make sure VBA editor window is closed (the issue will not occur when it is open)
- Open the form in non-dialog mode (the issue does not occur with dialog forms)
- Test by hovering mouse over controls and waiting for a few seconds.

A workaround is to slow down the timer - but this is not always desirable.
A couple of months ago was also able to reproduce the problem with any control which had an "On Mouse Move" event. This appears to have been fixed now, though.

OK, enough of COM controls and VBA programming. The controls need a complete overhaul that look like and act like year 2017 controls not 1981 controls. We need more controls that you would find in .net interface. The chart control, datashets and almost all other controls need to be moved out of the COM world. Creating a dashboard in near impossible with the current controls and layout handling.

Also VBA is ok but very limited compared to .net. Both are your products why not integrate them.

We need a true grid control, better comboboxs, true PDF support, better and attractive chart controls, true drag and drop, ability to control ODBC field types (most the time they are the cast to the wrong type) and again attractive controls that users demand.

Access is a great piece of software but it so badly need a update to bring it back to life. Look at DevExpress controls, wow, we love them for .net but Access takes so much of the hassles out of database programming that it would be our first choice.

Currently, when I'm in a form's textbox and I instinctively hit Ctrl+A to select all text (just like any other Windows application), nothing happens. Or so you may think, in fact everything happens! All records get selected, and if you dare hit the wrong button while you think you have selected all text of the textbox, woe is unto you.

Should Access really be different from all other programs out there? Why should a user think that when in a textbox and hitting ctrl+A it won't select the text?

Of course, there are workarounds (like a VBA function that hijacks the shortcut), but simply selecting all text should be the default.
