I have a multi-option menu bar. Everything works fine except the
ToolTipText.
Here is one of the options:

With .Add(msoControlButton)
.Caption = "Update Events"
.OnAction = "UpdateEvents"
.TooltipText = "Update Events from file - will
OVERWRITE"
End With
What I want is for the ToolTip to display when the user puts the mover over
the pulldown option.
How can I do that?

Menu items cannot display tool tips. Only toolbar buttons can. So you'd
have to add this control to a menu bar (a commandbar programmatically
speaking) rather than a menu.

You can accomplish this with the Caption property. Add the ampersand (&) to
the beginning of the caption:

.Caption = "&Your Mouse over message here"
