Look up ControlTipsText in VBA help file. Here is some sample code from the
help file.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
MultiPage1.Page1.ControlTipText = "Here in page 1"
MultiPage1.Page2.ControlTipText = "Now in page 2"

CommandButton1.ControlTipText = "And now here's"
CommandButton2.ControlTipText = "a tip from"
CommandButton3.ControlTipText = "your controls!"
End Sub

Using Basic Shapes as buttons running macros, is it possible for a
descriptive 'tip' to be programmed in which will appear when the mouse
hovers over, as is the case with toolbar buttons?
