Default ControlTip Text

I have added several command buttons to an spreadsheet in Excel 2003. Is it
possible to add a control tip text whenever the mouse is moved over these
command buttons? The command buttons are on the sheet and not in a form.
Thanks for the help.....

JT: I have the same question! Anybody out there got a morsel of an idea for
us? Is there ANY way to approximate a control tip for a command button that
is NOT on a form?

Many thanks and deep admiration for anyone who can come up with a work around!

I don't think so--well, maybe if you use some of those APIs that are way beyond
me.

Have you thought about making the cell that is behind the commandbutton larger
and adding a comment to that cell?

Or just putting a description in an adjacent cell -- or using the caption of the
commandbutton?
