is there a way to display a text description when you hover over a record?

I have a table displayed using ASP from an Access dB.......one column
has #'s in it and these #'s denote a particular status of the entire
record......is there a way to hover over the status codes and have a
window display for a few seconds? This window would have a description
of the status. I have another table available with each of the status
codes & descriptions.
Thanks for any help you can provide

Not using ASP. ASP is server-side technology, and by definition, cannot
perform any actions in response to user activity unless that activity causes
a submission to that ASP page. Granted, you can use ASP to write the
client-side code tat causes the action you want to be performed, but ASP is
not required to write client-side code. This question will get a better
response on a client-side newsgroup, such as the .scripting.jscript group,
or one of the groups with "dhtml" in its name (although the latter are
low-traffic compared to the .scripting group).

To get you started, go to msdn.microsoft.com/library and search for the
onmouseover event.
