Is there an on mouseover event for a cell..? or sheet..? or anything..?

Want to create a floating message type box, to give the user of a sheet some
help when they
move the mouse over an item, or value or other data type.

any help/hints would be appreciated.
Andrew

There is no MouseOver or MouseIn event for a cell. For your
purposes, would a cell comment do the job?

There aren't any exposed mouse-related events for cells or sheets.

sheet some help when they
move the mouse over an item, or value or other data type.

You could use comments (Insert | Comment) if you need cell-based tooltips.
If you're after something more extravagant, you could use TextBoxes or other
ActiveX controls, which do expose mouse events.

Not really, might just do it in a web page instead.

If there is no way to Expose/make accessible the mouse over events (same as
comments use) then will try a few other tings.
Thx for reply.
