Lee is correct. Fixing the spelling of the second "LightGrey" in the iif statement now eliminates problem #2 as the color change can be executed multiple times. This code replaced the use of a messagebox as a test for the functioning of the onLeftMouseDown function. Thank you for the sharp eyes Lee. I notice this morning that jiggling the mouse wheel over the textlabel does cause the speedtip to appear once. Moving off the text label and back over it, the text label speedtip will not appear again. Certainly confuses me as to why this is. Thanks, Tom
