Default Need help with Syntax

Hi Marty,

To show or display all of the comments on the sheet (as opposed to toggling
the display status of all of the individual comments), try:

Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Dim c As Comment

For Each c In Me.Comments
c.Visible = ToggleButton1.Value
Next

End Sub

---
Regards,
Norman

Hello:

I have a workbook which has three worksheets. Each
worksheet has several cells which have comments in them.
I have a toggle button on each of the worksheets which I
want to use to alternately show and hide all of the
comments on the worksheet.

Here is the VBA for the toggle buttons (all three are the
same:

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
Call ShowComments
Else
Call HideComments
End If
End Sub

The macros "ShowComments" and "HideComments" were
recorded. They look like this:

Sub ShowComments()
Application.DisplayCommentIndicator =
xlCommentAndIndicator
End Sub

Sub HideComments()
Application.DisplayCommentIndicator =
xlCommentIndicatorOnly
End Sub

This works, but the problem with this is that each button
shows and hides all of the comments on every worksheet.
I want each button to show and hide the comments only on
the worksheet on which it is located.

I know I need to replace the "Application" in the
recorded macros with some sort of Workbooks
(ActiveWorkbook.Name) and Sheets(ActiveSheet.Name)
combination. I tried this:

Sub ShowComments()
Dim MYSHEET as Object
MYSHEET = Workbooks(ActiveWorkbook.Name).Sheets
(ActiveSheet.Name)
MYSHEET.DisplayCommentIndicator =
xlCommentAndIndicator
End Sub

{and repeat the syntax for the other macro}

but I can't get it to work.

Ideas?

Thanks,
MARTY
