I have a VB ActiveX that I have compiled. When I add the ActiveX to the "Toolbox" it shows up with a tooltip of "Unknown". I would like to have the tooltip refer to the name of the control. Is there a way to do this? What is VBA reading to set as the default for this tooltip?
 
Right-click the control in the toolbox and customize - both description and picture can be changed. However it such case it is likely that vba will not handle this control properly.

My goal is to fix the initial issue - to cause it so that the tooltip text will set properly by default. Not that the user can set it afterwards. I want it to appear correctly when the user adds the ActiveX control to the toolbox - and am wondering why it is coming up as "Unknown". thank you for your response though.
