ASPRunnerPro General questions

Hello - Have searched forum and help and am at a loss.
Have one (1) table with only six (6) fields: User, Status, Severity, Date, Screen, Description

Want to have a description pop-up for each when a user does a mouse over the field name
How do I do this, please? I've been able to gather that I need to enter a script in the Events with something called a "onmouseover" and relate it somehow to the field name, but that's about all I can discern.
I am not new to ASPRunnerPro, but I have never attempted this and I have no idea of where to start. Please be gentle! <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=13015&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
Sincere thanks in advance for your help and patience.

Kim,
here is a workaround:

  1. create custom view for this table on the Datasource tables tab,
  2. set up master-detail relationships between your main table and custom view on this tab, turn on 'Preview details records in popup' option on the Table link properties dialog,
  3. check off Description field only for custom view on the Choose fields tab.

Thanks, Jane, but ya lost me.
for your step 1:

I find the "Datasource tables" tab is a page. I see where I can r-Click on my database and choose "Add Custom View". I can also r-click the category "Custom Views" and then choose "create custom view".
However, the only options for each of these is "select table" (which only shows the one existing table) and "name". When I just go ahead and choose the existing table and then choose a name all I end up with is a copy of the existing table...?
For your step 2:

OK - figured this out and think I understand what it's doing
For your step 3:

OK - found the "Choose Fields" tab you reference is a page as well.
Gee - do I have some sort of Wizard mode enable that I can turn off? It would be great to just deal with tabs rather than pages!
Working on applying your advice and will repost when done.
Thank you again!!

Kim,
yes you're right.

This copy (custom view) will be used to show small popup with description field on the list page ('Preview details records in popup' option on the Table link properties dialog).
