Show values during Step Into

I am using a MacBook Pro running OSX Tiger and I want to write and run VBA macros in Excel.  I am able to run a Windows version of Excel 2003 using Parallels software.  The systems works fine and in Step Into mode, I can see values when I hover the cursor over an object.  However, using Excel for Mac 2004 in 'normal' Mac mode ie not using Parallels, I cannot see the values when I hover the cursor over an object.

Can anyone please tell me if there is a setting to adjust to show these values?  Also, what is this 'hover and show' phenomenon  called?

 Ken,

I'm not sure of the actual answer to your question, but I have a workaround for you.  The Locals window will display the values of all variables in a procedure. Having this open will obviate the need for the 'hover and show' (which is probably 'MouseOver').  It will cost you a bit of real estate, but I find that's not as much of an issue during debugging.

Hi David,

Many thanks for the speedy reply.

I notice that whilst I have access to the Locals window (and Immediate and Watch) in Excel 2003, I can only see Immediate in Excel 2004.  Is this significant?
