>>Anyone out there using ole controls? Like threed SSComand or the 3D panel. I am and I'm very happy so far. I would just like to add a tool tip to some command buttons. I tried putting transparent shapes over/under the control. I've tried invisible buttons on top. All to no avail. Any one have any good solutions perhaps an alternate methode. TIA.

Edward, I must be overlooking something as I have just retried with the shape. I moved the ole button control over to a free area and made the shape bigger all around and the tooltip works anywhere on the shape except where the ole control is. ;( am i missing a point? also moved it to the front and to the back. I know its friday and I hate to be a pain. :) TIA
