That would explain why I couldn't find properties... I was creating a
command button from
the Forms Toolbar. It just wasn't working well for me.
Is it possible to create a commandbutton array (So I only have to write one
script instead of 200
identical?)

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!

Take a look at the .topleftcell of the controlbutton.
msgbox worksheets("sheet1").commandbutton1.topleftcell.ro w

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

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

each row.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
