>How do you set the time that a tooltip will stay on the screen before disappearing? Right now it's about 5 seconds which is not enough time to read some of the longer 'tips' (now that the maximum length has been increased to 4k, I've decided to use bigger 'tips').

The Windows tooltips default for autopop delay (timeout) is double-click time * 10.

DECLARE Long GetDoubleClickTime IN USER32
? GetDoubleClickTime()*10/1000, "seconds"

It doesn't look like changing WIndows or VFP double-click time has any effect on VFP tooltips. I doubt you can change autopop delay for VFP tooltips.
