Hi there,

I was trying to do something similar to this a while ago, mouse over to make a graph visible, then remove when mouse moves away.

I found the code below when I was looking into it. Never really took it any further as I opted to make the cell a hyperlink to the graphs, easier at the time.

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
' do macro commands here:

CommandButton1.BackColor = RGB(200, 200, 200) ' grey
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Label2").Visible = True ' display label2

If ActiveSheet.Pictures("Picture1").Visible = False Then ' test if picture is showing

ActiveSheet.Pictures("Picture1").Visible = True ' if picture was not visible, make it visible
End If

' keep this last line no matter what you change above
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Label1").Visible = True ' make background label visible (to detect mouseoff)
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)

' do macro commands here:

' keep this last line no matter what you change above

' once mouseover has registered (meaning that the mouse left a commandbutton, perform all the code above
' and finish with this line so label1 is not clickable. Label1 should be reactivated on any mouseover
' of any button (see CommandButtonX_MouseMove subs and OptionButton1_MouseMove sub)

I had some success in getting this to work, but couldn't work out how to adapt it enough for my needs.

Hope it helps
