How to Display values on MouseOver at RunTime

[JA3395]

I've been directed to ask this question in here.

Question:
How do I get the MouseOver to work at RunTime - I hover the mouse pointer over a value and ....... nothing.

Is there an option that I need to switch on to get this working? - it's becoming a REAL pain to have to keep adding a Watch to see a value.

Clarification 1:
I'm not in the Excel windows, I'm in the Visual Basic windows. Normally when I step through code, if I hover the pointer over a variable the data contained in the variable is displayed. On this PC I'm currently using, this doesn't happen.

How can I switch this feature on?

J.

You were indeed directed here - but incorrectly. The VB6 IDE is different from the VBA IDE in Excel, and it is the Excel VBA IDE that you are working in.

That being said, the advice you were given in your original thread (Tools/Options/Editor/Auto Data Tips) was the most likely solution. However, it only works in break mode, not if your code is actually running.

Your assertion that "that just causes the dropdown window to appear when one is typing code" is incorrect (or should be); that option is normally set through Auto List Members.
