I have managed to create a command button in excel 2007 that performs a macro upon a click. But, after re-opening the workbook, I am unable to right click on the button to recall the properties window.

I have a monthly log that I need to keep to track expenses and customers visited. The log is segmented into 12 parts corresponding with each month.
I need to be able to add multiple lines via an input box while maintaining the formulas and formatting of the 2 rows directly above the forms command button (because both lines are filled with a different color) but not the contents?
There will be 12 command buttons in all and the new rows should be added at the bottom (directly above where the button is)
I found this and it works to some extent.
Sub FromFormsCommandBar2()
Dim Btn As Button
with ActiveSheet
Set Btn = .Buttons(application.caller)
btn.topleftcell.entirerow.insert
end with
End Sub

I have built a Form which displays data from a spreadsheet. The user opens the form by clicking on a command button from the spreadsheet. The Form initially opens with the data from Row 4 of the spreadsheet (because this is the first row of the spreadsheet which contains the data for the form). The user can then sequentially access other rows in the spreadsheet by clicking on buttons in the Form which advance the extraction by one row.
I would like to add a command button to each row of the spreadsheet that would open up the Form and set the values in the Form to the same row which the command sits on.

I have a macro which I use to do all sorts of routine things on a spreadsheet for my employees. (you guys helped me with that too. thanks)
I would like to add a command button to this sheet to run series of code and I want to add this to the final step of a macro.
Question, is there a series of code, which would
1. create the command button on the active sheet, and
2. add the required code to the command button, and
3. embed that button and code onto the active sheet all at once.
?
I need to do this regularly so it is a currently manual process I am trying to replace.
Ex. of code I want placed:
Rows("1:1").Select
Selection.Font.Bold = True
This is not the exact code which I will use, but it will help me to understand what I would have to do to make it work.

I have a user form with combo boxes. The user selects items from the combo box and when they click the command button the selection is written to the spreadsheet. Each time the button is clicked it adds an item to the sheet making a list of items. I am trying to assign a number to each item when the command button is clicked so I have numbered list. Here is my code so far:
Private Sub cmdbtnAdd_Click()
Dim RowCount As String
'Writes user inputs to Active Worksheet when Add Item Button is clicked.
RowCount = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range
("A1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
.Offset(RowCount, 0).Value = ' This is where I have been trying to code in the numbering
.Offset(RowCount, 1).Value = Me.Combobox1
.Offset(RowCount, 2).Value = Me.ComboBox2
End With
End Sub

I would like to make a userform where additional textboxes (and labels) can be added to the form by clicking a command button. Is this possible to do?
For example, a userform which has:
Contractor 1: (TextBox)
and underneath this have a command button which when clicked will add another text box e.g.
Contractor 2: (TextBox)
I'm new to vba so haven't got a clue how to go about making this userform or even if it is possible.

Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).

I am playing around with the Forfiles command (being called from Excel via Shell)..
I can't for the life of me get it apply a second command (such as getting the file size of each file)..
For example:
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Z
Z = Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").exec("cmd /c forfiles /P C:UsersapoDesktopTextFiles /S /M *.* /d
[Code]....
The end result being the filename and the filesize shown..

adds the file name into column A if it could also hyperlink it to that file. 2nd, Change it so it doesn't start a new workbook and worksheet. I would like it to just run in the Workbook it is in and each time the macro runs or the workbook opens it updates any info that has changed.

I'm designing a custom toolbar in VBA and have managed to create a toolbar with buttons.
However, I've been battling away trying to edit the buttons images so that I can design the button image to match the nature of macro assigned to it. The problem is that if you record yourself doing it, the macro written in VBA doesn't seem to recognise the editing button actions.
Does anyone out there know of a way to custom edit a button image in VBA?

I have a button on a worksheet that activates a macro, the macro is stored in a "personal.xlsb" file. This file is copied to several users computers so they can use the macro, problem is once the button is assigned to a macro from one computer all the other users can't use the macro. What can I do to make this macro work on all computers? (Less placing yet another button on the tool bar).

How can I return name of a command button on click? I want to create some sort buttons on a sheet I will use regularly to speed things up. I thought if I could call each sort button by the column letter the button sits in I can use this in a single sub for all buttons
e.g the button sitting in column A is called "A". when i click the button, it returns it's name to a variable which I can then use to sort column A. I know I could create a seperate routine for each button but I was just trying to think of something neater.

I have a userform with a button on it named But1. Is it possible to store But1 into a variable then activate the But1_Click action using a variable?
Dim strButname As String
strButname ="But1"
Now, how would you activate the But1_Click method using strButname variable. With listboxes you can use the Control(strListboxName) methodology?
This doesn't work, but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do.
Controls(strButname)_click

I am trying to change the text that appears on a button on a worksheet via a macro. There is only one button on the worksheet so in the macro I use
MyCaption = activecell.value 'Pick up the button text from the spreadsheet
For each sh in activesheet.shapes
sh.caption = MyCaption
'I know this would do all, but only one button as I said
next sh
which generates "Object doesn't support this property or method".
This is strange because if you get the properties box up, Caption definitely shows as a property of a button control.

I have a button wich will add data entered on a form to a spreadsheet if the data meets certain criteria. If it does not it will not let you add anything. I would like to add a second button that will add the data even if it does not meet the criteria but I need the second button to only be enabled with a password. Maybe a macro to change the button properties from locked to unlocked (true to false).

I currently am using a form button to create new rows.
I need two different kind of buttons. I have a button that does this-
VB:
Sub InsertRow()
'this inserts a row where the button is clicked.
Dim r As Range
[Code]....
However, when I try and create these codes using a Command button (I need it for the color), I get the error
"unable to get the buttons property of the Worksheet class"
P.S one other thing, say the button is in row 3, and Cells A1 and A2 are merged, when you click the button in row 3, it should extend the merge to A3.

This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"
ActiveSheet.Select
Range("B4:B37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G4:G37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B1").Select

I would like to set up some option buttons so that the will be become visible and enabled when a check box is checked, and the opposite when the same checkbox is not check. This is my problem
Private Sub cbpDiscAlum_Click()
Dim myOption As Control
Dim myValue As Boolean
myValue = cbpDiscAlum.Value = True
If myValue = True Then
For Each myOption In pDiscounts.Controls
myOption.Visble = True
myOption.Enabled = True
Next myOption
Else
For Each myOption In pDiscounts.Controls
myOption.Visible = False
myOption.Enabled = False
Next myOption
End If
End Sub
It is the 5th command where it gets hung up: For Each myOption In pDiscounts.Controls. I am sure I am spelling both of the names correctly: the checkbox, and the group name.

I have read several articles saying using a command button as a toggle button can't be done but some articles have said it is possible using the state properties.
.State = msobuttondown
.State = msobuttonup
Is there any way to combine this with the onaction property so that when you press the button, it stays down and activates a macro then when you press it again it pops back up and activates another macro.

I have been using this code and just noticed that it resets all of my options buttons to false when I exit and then re-enter (activate) the sheet with the option buttons.
I see where this is going on, but don't know how to correct it. I only want the option buttons changed to false if
The Sol named range is something other than "Primary Vendor". It seems to call the macro ClearOB whenener the sheet is activated.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
If Range("Sol").Value = "Primary Vendor" Then
For Each OB In ActiveSheet.OptionButtons
OB.Enabled = True
Next OB
ClearOB
ActiveSheet.ScrollArea = "A1:K58"

FYI This is cross posted on the VB Forums at [URL].....
I know that you can use the below code to add buttons to 2 of Excel's menu systems,
Code:
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls.Add
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add
And this should add a command bar control of whatever type specified to either the Add-Ins tab of the ribbon or the right-click menu when clicking on a range of cells.
However, I would like to be able to add some command bar controls to the right-click menu when you click on a group of columns. Is this possible?

I've created a userform following the tutorial http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa192538.aspx And a Find button which reads a string from a textbox, searches for it on the worksheet, and then displays the data for that row in the userform. I'm trying to work out how to do "Find Next", and it seems complicated. I know there are other techniques, such as filtering, or displaying all the found data in a dialog for user to choose which one to edit. But these are not suitable for my project. Here's the code for my Find button

I have searched this topic but I came up with nothing regarding my exact situation.
I have 5 buttons on sheet 1. I want them to all direct me to another sheet in the same workbook. However, some buttons will contain more than one sheet.
Example: Button 1 will direct me to 4 different sheets. Is this possible?
Also, When I open the workbook, I see many sheets that I am working from but I do not want them to show up when I open the workbook. The only way to see these sheets is to click on the command buttons at the top of sheet 1.

When I press a command button I want to:
Uncheck a checkbox made with Control Toolbox
Check a particular Option Button within a group box made with the Forms Toolbar.
EDIT: Clarification, I want both things to happen when I click one button.
