Thank you. That will help tell files apart when they all have cryptic names
(don't ask my why they MUST use THAT naming convention - I just write the
macros!).

Sorry if I was unclear. No, not buttons. File icons in folders.
Sometimes
when I run the mouse cursor over a file icon in a folder, I get a
tool-tip-like pop up that gives some info about the file: author, date
of
creation, subject, whatever. I notice the files I create and save
usually
don't have that, so I figured it was some file properties I was not
setting.
This would be very useful to me in a project I have in mind, rather than
trying to shove all that into a long file name.

What exactly do you mean? are you trying to set the tooltiptext on
your
own
toolbar buttons?

What properties do I need to set to get the text that pops up when

run
the mouse cursor over an Excel file icon?
