In another private reply:

try rightclicking on the button and looking in the name box (to the left of the
formulabar).

But if this is a button from the control toolbox toolbar, then when you
rightclick on the button and select properties, you'll see the name in the
(name) box--right at the top of the list.

I honestly cannot figure out how to get to the name of the button.

I can't just right click and go to properties... It's driving me nuts.

I have tried both names however..

It looks like the button is called Button130, not commandbutton130.

And is it on the Clients worksheet?

Great! I just tried this, and get:

Sub Button130_Click()
MsgBox Worksheets("clients").CommandButton130.TopLeftCell .row
End Sub

I get "this object does not support this property or method"

I also tried changing the sub to CommandButton130_Click() and tried to
remove the
"command" from the lower line... Every combination of those two changes..

Suggestions?

Thank you!

I have the need to use a control button to run a script, however, I need
the
script
to be able to tell the current position in the worksheet of that button.

The worksheet is sorted regularly, in many different ways, so I nned to

able to locate
at least the ROW where the button is located, because I will have a

button on
each row.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
