Sub menu1_MouseOver()

  Form1.caption = "You are about to select menu1."

End Sub

sub Form1_MouseOver()

  Form1.caption = app.title & " " & app.major & "." & app.minor
' this will set the caption back to the app name when your mouse leaves the menu

End Sub

I am afraid you did not understand my question right.

My question was about showing the tooltips texts in the status bar when the mouse is over a MENU item. You know, like the menues in Windows Explorer.

Do any of you guyz know how to do that?
