Hi all,

I'm trying to use an activex button to activate a macro defined in a different cell....

Below, the macro name is defined in cells A1,A2 and A3,
Command buttons are then inserted and required to run the macro defined in column A.

A B
1 Macro1 "Activex button"
2 Macro2 "Activex button"
3 Macro1 "Activex button"

Is it possible to call a cell reference in the "view code" option from the command button?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Jon

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
try the below

Sub hello()
MsgBox "hello"
End Sub


Sub asdsa()
susbasd = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("a1").Value
If susbasd = "hello" Then
Call hello
End If
End Sub

Try:

i.e for the first button

Code:
Application.Run (Range("A1").Value)

the second button would then have:

Code:
Application.Run (Range("A2").Value)
