How can include tooltips on an form option button object? and Where can I go
to modify the tab properties for each individual textbox? I tried everything
on the properties. Please help.

thanks,

Here is some code for commandbutton tooltips, option buttons should be
similar

To do this, put the following code in a standard code module (making it
available to the whole workbook).

'------------- bas module ------------------------
Option Explicit

Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" ( _
ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long

Declare Function GetSysColor Lib "user32" ( _
ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long


Public Function CreateToolTipLabel(objHostOLE As Object, _
sTTLText As String) As Boolean
Dim objToolTipLbl As OLEObject
Dim objOLE As OLEObject

Const SM_CXSCREEN = 0
Const COLOR_INFOTEXT = 23
Const COLOR_INFOBK = 24
Const COLOR_WINDOWFRAME = 6

Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'just while label is created and
formatted

For Each objOLE In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
If objOLE.Name = "TTL" Then objOLE.Delete 'only one can exist at a
time
Next objOLE

'create a label control...
Set objToolTipLbl = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Label .1")

'...and format it to look as a ToolTipWindow
With objToolTipLbl
.Top = objHostOLE.Top + objHostOLE.Height - 10
.Left = objHostOLE.Left + objHostOLE.Width - 10
.Object.Caption = sTTLText
.Object.Font.Size = 8
.Object.BackColor = GetSysColor(COLOR_INFOBK)
.Object.BackStyle = 1
.Object.BorderColor = GetSysColor(COLOR_WINDOWFRAME)
.Object.BorderStyle = 1
.Object.ForeColor = GetSysColor(COLOR_INFOTEXT)
.Object.TextAlign = 1
.Object.AutoSize = False
.Width = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)
.Object.AutoSize = True
.Width = .Width + 2
.Height = .Height + 2
.Name = "TTL"
End With
DoEvents
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

'delete the tooltip window after 5 secs
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:05"), "DeleteToolTipLabels"

End Function

Public Sub DeleteToolTipLabels()
Dim objToolTipLbl As OLEObject
For Each objToolTipLbl In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
If objToolTipLbl.Name = "TTL" Then objToolTipLbl.Delete
Next objToolTipLbl
End Sub
