Hi

Is it possible to add an activeX control ie a check box to a specific cell? I have recorded a macro that places one on the sheet and the code looks like this

ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CheckBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=643.5, Top:=236.25, Width:=108, Height:= _
19.5).Select

I assume that the Left and Top items are what controls where it goes. Any help would be much appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
This will place the check box in C5

Code:
Sub test()
Dim mt As Integer, ml As Integer
With Range("C5")
    mt = .Top
    ml = .Left
End With
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add ClassType:="Forms.CheckBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=ml, Top:=mt, Width:=108, Height:= _
19.5
End Sub
