Sending the Command Button Obj to another procedure

I am creating a blank worksheet with various procedures that automates another application (AccuTerm Terminal).

My issue is that I am wanting to add a line to each ActiveX Command Button that will resize the button to a range.

For example, let's say I have this command button:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    setButtonSize Me.Range("B2")
    GrabTriggerReports
End Sub

The `setButtonSize` is the procedure that is suppose to be setting the size of the button to the size of the cell: `Me.Range("B2")`.

The method in `setButtonSize` is:

Code:
Sub setButtonSize(rng As Range)
    With Application.Caller
        .Left = rng.Left
        .Top = rng.Top
        .Width = rng.Width
        .Height = rng.Height
    End With
End Sub

But `.Caller` doesn't appear to want to work, as I am getting an Object Required error. Of course, I could add these lines of code to each button:

Code:
With CommandButton2
    .Left = rng.Left
    .Top = rng.Top
    .Width = rng.Width
    .Height = rng.Height
End With

It is my preference not to do this.

So, how would I be able to send the `CommandButtonX` obj to the `setButtonSize` routine?

Thanks!

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Hi,
Try this update to your code

Code:
Sub SetButtonSize(ByVal rng As Range, ByVal CmdButton As Object)
    With CmdButton
        .Left = rng.Left
        .Top = rng.Top
        .Width = rng.Width
        .Height = rng.Height
    End With
End Sub


to call

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    SetButtonSize Me.Range("B2"), Me.CommandButton2
End Sub
