Text Box When Scrolling Over Filename
Text Box When Scrolling Over Filename
(OP)
Hey Guys-
This may be a very simple thing for you programmers, but I haven't been able to figure out how to customize the text that appears when you scroll over a file icon for Excel.
Normally, you scroll over the file and it gives you the Type of file, the size of the file and the date it was modified. Is there any way to customize that text so that I could, for example, list what I have done within the file?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this.

I tried that and it does list the fields, but it only does so in explorer itself. I still can't get the pop-up box to say what I want it to

To get these in windows file explorer (Windows XP), got to file explorerer Tools menu, select options, select the "view" tab, and scroll down near the bottom to check the box labeled "Show popup description for folder and desktop items"
Then push Apply (or Apply to all folders) and OK.
