Hovering over the question mark next to Save PLC Settings brings up a pop-up that is bigger than the PH window (and my screen, running at 1024x768).

Yep,

Looks like I'll have to either come up with shorter help or just forego the mouseover and make it a clickable icon that launches the text from Help. Think that'll work OK?

Thanks,

Dave.

Dave,

I think I would rather have a link that launches the text from Help. I would rather ALT-TAB between PowerHome and the Help file than the mouseover stuff. For small/short messages the mouseover is nice, but for longer stuff, the help file would be better.

That's my opinion anyway.

I agree with the link to help. It's distracting when you are moving your mouse to an area and suddenly a big window opens hiding what you're trying to get to. Shorter items, definitely a nice touch.
