Matt,
It means you have an ActiveX textbox control embedded in the spreadsheet.
To work with the textbox, activate it by clicking it then right-click it and select properties.
That gives a you a multitude of options to configure.
If all else fails read "Using ActiveX Controls on Sheets" in vba help.

Great, thanks Guys.

I was wondering, what then does this code mean?
=EMBED("Forms.TextBox.1","")

To be more specific:
Does it mean I need to or can access the textbox as an object by way of
traversing the Forms object first?
Can I change/alter this code at all? eg. what can you put in the last ""
then? Also, when I try to change part of the forumla, it says invalid name
or object... What is a correct name or object?
Is there anything else I can do with the formula or use it in any other
ways?

Thanks
Cheers
Matt

Matt,

You may want to review "Using ActiveX controls on a document" in the VBA
help file.
Also, you may want to consider the controls from the Forms toolbar found
at...
View | Toolbars | Forms.
These are not as versatile, but easier to use with fewer problems.

Howdy
Is there anything wrong with creating an application by placing form
elements such as a text boxes directly onto a worksheet?
