Does anyone know whether its possible to do MouseOver events in VBA. I've googled it but not really found anything of help! I have some graphic buttons with macros on a spreadsheet and would really like some explanation text to popup when the mouse is over the top of them, kindof like alttext in html. I found one suggestion of unhiding some text in the cell above. Has anyone done anything like this before?

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
I really think this is possible.

I have some code at home (currently at work).

my theory is:

on mouse movements > get cursor postion > if cursor position = that of or around button then > do something ie; create/display comment, text in cell above button etc. then have it removed when cursor postion not = to that set.
