I'm 99% you can't make a toggle button using code, so can you change the size and location of one via code?

I have a few on a sheet and they seem to have resized/relocated on their own when switch computers and it's quite annoying so I was just going to have code (if possible) to ensure they don't do that again.

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Have you right clicked on the Toggle Buttons and Clicked on Format Control and looked at the Properties?
There are several options there.

If you really need to try this script:
Modify to your needs:
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Modified  6/1/2019  1:52:42 AM  EDT
With ActiveSheet.ToggleButton1
    .Left = ActiveCell.Left
    .Top = ActiveCell.Top
    .Width = 250
    .Height = 50
End With
End Sub

For some reason all of the buttons changed sizes/locations as well....but they were easy for me to go back in and code locations/sizes to make sure that doesn't happen again..and this is happening on sheets that are protected.

When you said that's perfect I was not sure you meant the code I provided or setting the formatting.
So is all working now?
And did you fix the problem with the code or by Changing formatting in properties.

I think this happens when you add or delete cells or rows.

by the coding- I appreciate all of the help but the coding was what I was looking for.

I haven't deleted/added any rows, that's what caught me off guard- it just up and changed one day....

Since there isn't such a thing as ActiveCell.Right
How would I go about setting the right side and bottom parameters of the togglebutton (if I wanted it to match teh cell size, instead of specifying a size)? Thanks
