Can I have a message pop up when a control gets the focus

[slimpickens]

I have a CommandButton control on my form, what I want to do is have a message displayed for about 10 seconds before the user clicks it. Can this be done? I was checking a control called "popup" but I do not understand it.

Thanks

Carol

Does your commandbutton have a GotFocus event?

No, it does not.

What does got focus or lost focus mean or do?

They are events which you can place code to run.
A textbox, for example, must have the focus to recieve input from the keyboard.
If you exit textbox1 by tabbing, closing the form, ect... the text1.Lostfocus event should fire...
I am still learning some of the differences between VB and VBA. Am new to VBA.
