Moving amouse over controls

I have a spreadsheet where I want a message to appear when I move the
mouse over a series of buttons. Using the MouseMove I can generate a
message by placing msgbox "blah blah blah" in the code, but this box
stays when the mouse moves off the button. I have to click the OK to
make it disappear. Can anyone let me know how I can create code so that
a box appears (or, if this is not possible a status bar message may have
to do) whenever the mouse moves over the control but disappears when you
leave it?

Many thanks

You can add a comment to the cell behind the controls. Position the buttons
so a portion of the cell is visible. Now the comment will appear when the
mouse is near the button.
