Default Pop up Value in VB

I found it very useful to have a value pop up when I hovered my mouse over a
variable without having to set it up on the watch but now I can't get a pop
up value. Does anybody know how I can switch this on?

Thanks, in advance.

P.S. You have to be into the macro, i.e. running it, for the tool tips to
work. Also, the variable has to have been initialized for the tool tip to
show its value.

I have 'Show tool tips' and 'Auto data tips' ticked but still no value is
shown when I hover over the variable. I am running the macro and the value is
shown in the watch window. I have tried to alternate switching the above on
and off but no success.
