Toolbox Buttons and Macros

[Carolyn Kelley]

I just inserted a button using the Control Toolbox. How can I now make this button run a macro or function?

Good evening Carolyn Kelley

Welcome to the board.

From "Design Mode" double click on the button.
Copy (or type) the code into the pane that appears.
Close the VBE (the environment you have just opened).
Exit design mode.

Toolbar Button Macros

Thank you for the quick reply DominicB.

I see now the VBE window and desire to insert a macro that requires mousing commands rather than keyboard string formula function. For example: Mouse to highlight row, Insert row, copy range of cells, paste in range of cells in newly inserted row. End.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hi Carolyn Kelley

If you are a beginner at macros I would suggest you do the following :

Record the actions you wish to do using the macro recorder (Tools > Macro > Record New Macro).
Draw your button using the Forms toolbar (these controls are easier to use than the Control Toolbox).
Once you've drawn the button right-click and select Assign Macro to assign a macro to the button.
Once this is done the macro will be executed every time you click the button.

Good luck!
