Hi
I opened bran new excel file then went to vba editor. I see Sheet1(sheet1) and Thisworkbook, inside Project windows. I double clicked sheet1 and started typing this code:

Code:
Sub abc()
    MsgBox "hello"
End Sub

Then I went to excel and inserted Button and assign it to that macro and I ran it and it did work fine.
Then I created a new sheet in excel by clicking on + then I insert another Button and assigned to the same Macro above. To my surprise, it did work? I thought because I wrote the macro inside Sheet1 not Module then that means it only work for Sheet1 not outside sheet1? Any help would be appreciated very much. Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
As you have discovered it works regardless of where the call comes from.
However if you used something like
Code:
Range("A1:B2").Interior.Color=56789
Then it will work on Sheet1, regardless of which sheet is active
