Dave,
That's it.
Without you and all those others in this NG who are never too tired to
answer stupid or much repeated questions I would be nowhere in Excel land.

First, tools|customize|toolbars tab.
Create a new toolbar. Notice that it's initial location is just floating
on the
worksheet. You can do that with other toolbars, too. Just grab it (by
the grab
handle on the far left) and drag it down to where you want it.
You could do that with any custom toolbar you create. Personally, I like
to
load the toolbar so it's floating. It gets the user's attention (since
it's in
the way). If they want to dock it at the top/side/bottom, they can.)
Some alternatives:
You could attach a toolbar to a workbook.
If you're going to do that, you'll want to read Jan Karel Pieterse's
notes:
http://google.com/groups?threadm=083...80a% 40phx.gb
l
You could build the toolbar on the fly within that workbook:
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?th...5B41%40msn.com
That link has a link to John Walkenbach's MenuMaker program. It adds
items to
the worksheet toolbar.
=====
If the macro is supposed to be used against multiple workbooks, I would
try to
separate the macro from the data. Save your macro workbook as an addin
(*.xla)
and load that whenever you need it.

Dave,
Thank you very much, this is the solution.
But .. I am afraid I don't grasp the floating toolbar stuff. Is it
possible
to have a custom toolbar in sight - that stays in sight - as soon as the
worksheet (or workbook?) is opened? That has the advantage that one
could
have more than one button to use.

Just to add: With these type event macros (and macros in general),
you
may lose
the undo stack.
Dave Peterson wrote:
It sure sounds like you're describing a toolbar to me. (I think it
would be
easiest to just let it float (don't dock it to the top of the
application
window).)
But if you want, maybe something like this:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myShape As Shape
Set myShape = Me.Shapes("Button 1")
With Me.Cells(ActiveWindow.ScrollRow, ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn)
myShape.Top = .Top
myShape.Left = .Left
End With
End Sub
Rightclick on the worksheet that should have this behavior. Select
view
code
and paste this into that codewindow.
If you did window|freeze panes, so that row 1 is always visible, you
may
want to
change:
With Me.Cells(ActiveWindow.ScrollRow, ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn)
to
With Me.Cells(1, ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn)
(or whatever row you want the button in).
This routine moves the button when the selection changes. If the
user
moves the
screen using the scroll bars, then it won't show up until they
select a
range.

Dave,
Maybe my phrase "worksheet button" is wrong, I don't know the
correct
name.
I mean this.
I can assign a macro (any macro) to either a button on one of the
toolbars
at the upperside of my screen, above the worksheet, or to a button
that is
fixed to a specific worksheet. The latter I meant by "worksheet
button". The
advantage of a worksheet button is that you don't clog the
permanent
toolbars with all kind of buttons that you only need with specific
worksheets.
When I assign a macro (any macro) to a button on the worksheet,
that
button
is fixed (nailed down) to the specific position where I did put
it,
say for
example C1. When the worksheet is scrolled to the right the button
disappears out of sight. If the sheet is scrolled to te region of,
say,
column AP and this button has to be used, you have to scroll back
to
the
region where column C - and the button - is visible again. After
you
get the
result from clicking the button you have to scroll back to the AP
region,
which is a bit tedious.
What I would like is that the button "floats" on the worksheet so
that
it
stays in sight when the sheet is scrolled to the right (or the
left).
Hope I made it clear this time. Is what I want possible and if so,
how?
Thanks in advance.
Jack.

I'm not quite sure I understand the problem with the toolbar.
If you create a new toolbar (tools|customize|toolbars tab) and
assign your
macro
to that custom toolbar, then you could keep that toolbar shown
all
the
time (or
hide it and then reshow it on demand).
When you click on the button on that toolbar, excel will open
that
other
workbook -- if it's not open already.
You wouldn't need to keep that macro workbook open. Excel will
take
care
of the
housekeeping.

Dave,
About conflicting event ranges: I got it. Thank you very much.
Connected to my first question another one.
How nice would it be (for me) if a button on a worksheet (such
as
the
one
with the find function) would not get out of sight when the
sheet
is
scrolled to the left or to the right. So a kind of "floating"
button
that
always stays in sight. Can't have it on a fixed toolbar and
fixing
it to
a
custom toolbar is not very practical because I would have to
enable that
toolbar every time I want to use that button. Fixing it to a
cell
(for
instance A1) in the left most column and fixing that column
(don't
know
the
proper phrase) is also not disirable.
Is it possible to make a worksheet button that goes along with
the
scrolling?

Dave,
Thanks a lot, I hope to find time during the weekend to try
it
out.

Yep. You only get one of each type of event within each
sheet
module.
But you could check to see what range you're in and
process
based on
that.
If you have two ranges, you can have
1. No intersection between them (mutually exclusive).
2. An overlap of at least one cell.
If the ranges are mutually exclusive, then it's pretty
straight
forward.
Figure
out which one you're in (if either) and do the processing
based on
that.
If the ranges overlap, then you have a decision to make.
Do
you do
the
first
procedure or the second procedure or both?
(Doing one of them, but not the other resolves to the
first
case,
too.)
You have an overlap of a couple of cells.
If you're in column E, do one thing. But what should
occur if
you're in
E1--that cell is in both ranges.
I decided <vbg that you wanted to do only one thing and
that
one
thing
is
to
show the .find dialog.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As
Range,
_
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim myRng1 As Range
Dim myRng2 As Range
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
With Me
'stay away from row 1???
Set myRng1 = Intersect(.Range("e:e,as:as,bt:bt"),
_
.Rows("2:" &
..Rows.Count))
Set myRng2 = Me.Range("e1:g1")
If Not (Intersect(Target, myRng1) Is Nothing) Then
'it's something
'do your code for stuff that's in e,as,bt
'cancel = true
ElseIf Not (Intersect(Target, myRng2) Is Nothing)
Then
'do your code for stuff that's in e1,g1
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Range("E:E,G:G").Select
.Range("G1").Activate
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaFind).Show
'cancel = true
End If
End With
End Sub
======
I left the "cancel = true" commented out. But I would
think
that
you
would want
that code uncommented.
If your user has edit directly in cell, double clicking
will
start
that
process. "Cancel = true" stops that from happening.
And in the _BeforeRightClick event, "cancel=true" will
stop
the
popup
from
showing up.
(I'm betting that you don't want either to occur, but
you'll
have to
uncomment
it.)
=========
And since the routine that occurs with rightclicking also
occurs
with
doubleclicking in a certain area, you can put that code in
one
spot
and
then
when something changes, you don't have to fix two
routines:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As
Range,
_
Cancel As
Boolean)
Dim myRng1 As Range
Dim myRng2 As Range
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
With Me
'stay away from row 1???
Set myRng1 = Intersect(.Range("e:e,as:as,bt:bt"),
_
.Rows("2:" &
..Rows.Count))
Set myRng2 = Me.Range("e1:g1")
If Not (Intersect(Target, myRng1) Is Nothing) Then
'it's something
'do your code for stuff that's in e,as,bt
MsgBox "myRng1"
Cancel = True
ElseIf Not (Intersect(Target, myRng2) Is Nothing)
Then
'do your code for stuff that's in e1,g1
Call Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(Target, True)
Cancel = True
End If
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As
Range,
_
Cancel As Boolean)
With Me
'do your code for stuff that's in e1,g1
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Range("E:E,G:G").Select
.Range("G1").Activate
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaFind).Show
Cancel = True
End With
End Sub
ps. The application.enableevents stuff is toggled off
just in
case
you
have a
_selectionchange event, too.

Dave,
I could use in stead of a find button on my spreadsheet
that
would
automatically let the find function work in 2
non-consecutive
columns
(in my
case E and G), a macro that does the same if E1, F1 or
G1 is
double
clicked
(or right clicked). Perhaps something like the code
below
the
dotted
line
could work (if you would be so kind to correct it for
me).
But in
the
code
module of the worksheet I already have another worksheet
procedure
that
is
triggered by a double click, it begins with:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As
Range,
Cancel
As
Boolean)
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("E:E")) Is Nothing And
Intersect(Target,
Me.Range("AS:AS")) Is Nothing And Intersect(Target,
Me.Range("BT:BT"))
Is
Nothing Then Exit Sub
and also a procedure that reacts to a right click. It
begins
with:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As
Range,
Cancel
As
Boolean)
Dim myShtCtBar As Object
If Target.Columns.Count = 1 Or Target.Rows.Count = 1
Then
Select Case Selection.Column
It seems that you can have only one eventprocedure of a
kind
in a
worksheet
code module. Is there a way out?
