Ken is right: setting the tooltip of a control to empty closes its  
tooltip.

"How to Create Contextual Tooltips on-the-fly" tutorial might help you:
In this stack, a first example shows how to change the tooltip of a  
check box according to its hilite.
The second one shows how to display tooltips within a locked field  
depending on the location of the mouse (columns, lines), the field  
contents, how to refresh them, etc.

You will access this tutorial through "Tutorials Picker" a free  
plugin that interfaces with the So Smart Software website in order to  
display all available tutorials stacks directly from the web.
You will find it by going to http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/
Revolution/Plugins or Tutorials section.
