In Excel 2002 and 2003 I don't see any tooltip for my HYPERLINK
functions, though I do for inserted hyperlinks.

Only in 2007 do I see tooltips for HYPERLINK functions.

I agree with you there is no way to turn them off completely - only
using a space as a tip (for inserted hyperlinks), or entering a cell
comment in the cells containing hyperlinks.

I have posted a suggestion on a database used by the Excel development
team requesting an option to turn off the tooltips in a future version.
