I can't find what to call these so I'm referring to them as hover tips. I'm
referring to the messages that appear when I run my cursor over the toolbar
icons. For example, when I just placed my cursor over the "New Post" icon
in Outlook Express, "Write Message" appeared.

My question is whether VBA supports such a functionality on userforms. I'd
like a brief explanatory message to pop up when a user runs their cursor
over a check box option.

Yes, Userforms and their controls support this. Simply set a string for the
ControlTipText property of the control

I had no idea it was so easy. Thanks for your help and I'm sorry for the
multiple postings.
