Tooltips
Hi David,
Do the following: 1) Right click on your custom toolbar and select 'Customize'. 2) Right click the button on your toolbar that you want to set the tooltip. 3) Under "Name:" type in your tooltip. 4) Close the "Customize" window and test it...

Tooltips
it's a standard property of a commandbar control. normally when you set the caption of a commandbarcontrol this is copied to the tooltiptext, but you can subsequently set the tooltiptext seperately. This does not apply to controls on a worksheet. You could enter a comment in the cell below the control. I've used BottomRightCell to avoid overlap (Z-order) problems. but TopLeftCell.Offset(,1) should work as well. Depends on sizing. Private Sub CommandButton2_GotFocus() Me.CommandButton2.BottomRightCell.Comment.Visible = True End Sub Private Sub CommandButton2_LostFocus() Me.CommandButton2.BottomRightCell.Comment.Visible = False End Sub Following wont work with the controls you want, but may be an alternative: if you just want a handy tooltip in a cell.. you can set a "dummy" data validation with just the "input message" tab filled in. then.. when a user activates that cell he gets the message :) keepITcool < email : keepitcool chello nl (with @ and .) < homepage: http://members.chello.nl/keepitcool "David" wrote: Can a tooltip be added to a button on a custom toolbar in Excel? |

Tooltips
Should there be a 'caption' option when a tooltip on a custom toolbar is
right clicked in customised mode? The options I am getting in Excel 2002 a Reset, Delete, Name, Copy Button Image, Paste Button Image, Edit Button Image, Change Button Image, Default Style, Text Only (Always), Text Only (In Menus), Image and Text, Begin a Group, Assign Hyperlink, Assign Macro.
