Hi Cat, There is a lazy way to do if you don't using caption instead of using tip strips. There is no coding needed for tip strips in order to show the tips whenever the mouse points over the booleans. Right click on each boolean control and select "Description and tip..." and type in the tip for the boolean. Although I don't know a tricky way to programmtically give the tips for each boolean rather than type in manually one by one, but I guess it may not give you more work since you have to type the caption for each boolean too. Hope this will help. Irene ===== Irene He [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.hytekautomation.com www.geocities.com/irene_he
