Implant macro

I am creating a new wookbook via code. I want to set up a macro plus macro button on the new code-created workbook. How can I 'implant' the macro?

RE: implant macro

Hi Tom, thanks for your query. Easiest way to quickly for this is...to record yourself doing precisely that as a macro! Here's the code I got from doing a quick macro of my actions:

ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(218.25, 81.75, 117.75, 24).Select
Selection.OnAction = "mymacro"

Bit of an anti-climax, isn't it?!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

RE: implant macro

Thanks, Anthony.

Very helpful; i.e. works.

Anti-climax? Yes and no; it opens many doors.

Regards,

Tom

RE: implant macro

No problem Tom. Two lines of code, but a lot of potential. I hope it proves useful.

Anthony

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
