    Try the following:

    In a general module:

    In the worksheet module:

    Then in G10, enter:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    And in the cells surrounding G10 (so F9:F11, G9, G11, H9:H11):
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    Hi Olly,
    Thanks for the codes. The mouse over works perfect exactly.
    I found there are functions around the cell, it seems the purpose
    of those function is to turn off the text box when mouse pointer
    rolls away from cell G10.

    How to handle if there are other data around the cell G10?
    One quick way I think is to make the adjcent rows and columns
    very narrow to almost invisible. I rather not to do that way if there
    is another way; because I will have lots those comments in the text
    boxes.

    If I do not ask too much, can you please do one for a single click the
    cell G10 to pop-up a text box; same as the input message from validation.
    I am very appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    I play around on single click, now it works. I delete all functions in each cell from range F9:H11.

    Can you please advise on the other topic that if there are other data around adjacent to cell G10 in lieu
    of functions?

    I also tried deleting contents in G9:H11 except cell G10, mouse over works, but I need to click any cell outside
    the text box to close the text box. Properly I may choose this option rather to narrow the rows and columns that
    creating more works.

    Thanks
