Excel 2007 XML error: "The screentip attribute is not declaed"

[JeffreyW]

I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a Validation error
I’ve just started getting in the Custom UI Editor while updating some
screentips and supertips in an Excel XML file (actually an *.xlam file). The
error is:

“The 'screentip' attribute is not declared.â€

As I had successfully used both the attributes in this file previously, I
don’t understand why I am now getting this error. Can anyone shed any light
on this?

Thanks for any insights!

Hi JeffreyW

Show your xml so we can look at it

Thanks for posting, Ron. As it works out, I had a syntax error in my code
which is now resolved. Just had some difficulty resolving which line of code
was the offender with such a cryptic error message.

All is well now.

I've had this issue before. Don't know if yours is the same or not, but it
turned out that by using supertip, and not superTip, or screentip, and not
screenTip (capitalizing the T in tip), it'd throw an error telling me the
syntax was wrong.
Seems rather skiddish to me, but ok.....

Actually, Steve, the Office2007XMLSchema.chm file shows that all lower case
is the proper syntax for those elements. Works for me.

if "skiddish" means case-sensitive you are right.
