I create comments when an error is detected with the data on a spreadsheet.

Is there a way to automatically have the comment display (as opposed to a message box)? This like simulating moving the cursor over the cell

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
How are you creating the comments?

It sounds to me like you would need to create some worksheet event code to create/display the comments.

You can add this to your error detection code:

ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = True
