>>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

>It's exactly what you should see: VFP doesn't recognize standard controls overlapped by OLE! If 'bordered' tooltip is not good for you, you should consider using MouseDown/Up/Move events (e.g. invoke message on RightClick which is Win95 standard).
Thanks, Was a little confused with overlap and covered/surounded. I have decided to utilize right clicks. My thanks again.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
