I create the shape dynamically at thhe end of along prg run. The tooltip code works fine until I try to add the date.

When do You set it and where?
- In the properties-Window? then You might need to add another "=" in front of the quotation-marks.
- In code then it should work, however thenextDate must be in scope as Boris already pointed out (same for the properties-Window).

And, Do You have ShowTips on the Form's level set to .T.? otherwise nothing happens anyway
