Thanks for the help Mike. So far no luck. The result I get is what is in the quotes - exactly This: ="Estimated next event date " + TRANSFORM(DMY(thenextdate))

I pushed it around a bit, removing the transform and then the dmy byt the result was always what was in the outer quotes.

The tooltip text property normally contains a static value. You want to put in an expression!

To do that prefix the expression with an equal sign.

.ToolTipText = '="Estimated next event date " + TRANSFORM(DMY(thenextdate))'

You have to be very sure that thenextdate is a variable or field in scope.
