Some buttons on my form display the ContolTip message when the cursor is held over the button. Others require the user to right-click on the control. Is there something I can do to make them behave consistently?

This is usually caused by the controls not "being on top". Open the form in design view, then on the controls giving you the problem, select the control then click on "Format", then "Bring to Front". This will need to be done to all controls giving you the problem. You can multi-select the controls by holding down you Shift Key while selecting. After you have all controls "On Top", you should not have the problem you have described.
