I have created a form in a worksheet. I would like to include a VB button that would run a macro once all the blanks are filled in. When I put a control button on the worksheet, it is just a dumb button (still in "design mode", if you will). How do I make it active so that when a user clicks on the button it runs off and does its thing?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
While in Design Mode, right-click, select View Code, put your code there, or call the routine(s) from the routine that appears.

Solved my own problem. Seems it works as expected when I grab the button from the forms toolbar - I was using the button from the controls toolbar.

Just for future reference, if you use a button from the Control Toolbox you need to click the first icon in the floating toolbar to exit (toggle) design mode. It looks like a geometry set.
