On: Sheets("Players") I have a command button, when clicked this runs:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Player1 As Variant
Player1 = InputBox("Enter Player 1")
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.Caption = Player1
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.BackColor = 49152
End Sub


On: Sheets("Play") I have a command button. When it is clicked I want it to return the inputbox data from Sheets ("Players") to a corresponding cell, lets just say (A1)

If this is possible any help would be great. Thank you

Would it make more sense, when the user click on the "Grandpa" button, 'Grandpa" is automatically entered in Cell A1 on the other sheet ?

Can I then presume you want the other player names, as they appear on the buttons on the first sheet should be added to the second sheet, below Grandpa ?
Not exactly what I'm looking for but I can make that work. I can just hide the cells I put the info in.
How could I add that to the code to have the name placed in cell A1 on the sheet (Play)?
