Good afternoon,
I've seen mention of macro buttons on several threads. I've never used one in my macros.
What are the advantages? Is it just more user friendly than requiring that the user go to the menu bar?

Does anybody have an example that I coulde see what they look like?

Thank you!

View > Toolbars > Forms, click on the button icon then draw out a button (just like drawing a rectangle). If not prompted, right click it and choose Assign Macro and select a macro. You can change the button's name, font and so on.

It simply makes repetitive tasks on the same worksheet easier.

You can also add an ActiveX button from the Commands toolbar.
