SYMPTOMS
If you add any control to a MultiPage control on a UserForm, controls with ControlTipText entries in the Properties window of the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor(VBE) display their tips during design time.



CAUSE
The MultiPage ActiveX Control enables ToolTips as the control is updated during design time.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
A ToolTip that you assign in Visual Basic for Applications through the Properties Code window should be active and appear only at run time.

A MultiPage control presents multiple screens of information as a single set.

The ControlTipText property specifies text that appears when users briefly hold the mouse pointer over a control without clicking.

The ControlTipText property lets you give users tips about a control in a running form. You can set the property during design time, but it only appears by the control during run time. The default value of ControlTipText is an empty string. When the value of ControlTipText is set to an empty string, no tip is available for that control.
