I have two different modules in my code. In module I create buttons and give them a tag so that I know which buttons that has been pressed. When a button is pressed the .onAction runs and calls a sub. in that sub i want to check which button that was in fact pressed by checking the tag. however i do not know how to write the code for that when the tag is assigned in a different module. Please help me with this code! My code in the module where I create the buttons is:

Sub Create_Menu()
Dim stapelDiagramKnapp As CommandBarButton
Set stapelDiagramKnapp = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With stapelDiagramKnapp
.Tag = "stapel"
.BeginGroup = True
.OnAction = "ChartModul1.arrayLoop"
end with

and in the sub in the module ChartModul1:
Sub arrayLoop()
Dim cmdBtn As CommandBarButton
Set cmdBtn = Meny.CommandBars.ActionControl

If cmdBtn.Tag = "stapel" Then
MsgBox ("Tag = stapel")
End If
I guess I have it wrong on the Set cmdBth line but I do not know how to write it. Please help me! Thanks very much!
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
In the Object Browser search for ActionControl, click it and press F1. Help contains an example just like yours.

Hello Andrew! Thanks for your tip! I tried using that code but as I said in my question I do not think it works since I have the codes in different modules. What do I have to change in order for it to work? It seems like very good code but I do not get any messageboxes so I guess the code does not get any tags. Please help me ou! Thank you very much!

Please post your actual code. Your Create_Menu code wouldn't compile because there is no qualifier for the first dot in:

Set stapelDiagramKnapp = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
