Hi Peter,

Based partly on information from previous posts by you, try something like:


'===============
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim rCell As Range
Const sAdd As String = "A100" '<<==== CHANGE
Const NumOfButtons As Long = 10 '<<==== CHANGE
Dim OleObj As OLEObject

Set rng = Me.Range(sAdd).Resize(NumOfButtons)

For i = 1 To NumOfButtons
With Me.OLEObjects("Commandbutton" & i).Object

If rng(i).Value < "" Then
.BackColor = &HFFFF&
Else
.BackColor = &HFF&
End If
End With
Next i

End Sub
'<<===============

I have set up a sheet that has 10 command buttons which change color
when worksheet cells contain something other than a ""

Here is the cosr I'm using too effect this

With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Costs").CommandButton1
If Range("a100").Value < "" Then
BackColor = &HFFFF00
Else
BackColor = &HE0E0E0
End If
End With

With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Costs").CommandButton2
If Range("a101").Value < "" Then
BackColor = &HFFFF00
Else
BackColor = &HE0E0E0
End If
End With

etc etc

Is there a more efficient way to do this?

Cheers

Peter (new to VBA)
