I don't see anything in the naming convention you have adapted that would be
particularly useful in performing the task.

So I would just provide the correct arguments to the arrays and see if it
works for you.

Tom,
Thanks for your reply. You mentioned naming the graphics - I have done
just
that, but didn't know it could figure in the solution. There are 16
metafile
graphics (circles with different colors some with arrows some without).
They
are pasted (by code) over the various cells in Sheet3, Sheet4,
Sheet5.Sheet14, and are named based on their descriptive nature and the
fact
they are pasted. They are pasted by macro when the user clicks a
duplicate
graphic with the same name without the word "Paste." in it. The pasted
graphic names a

RedSteadyPaste, RedImprovingPaste, RedDecliningPaste
RedYellowSteadyPaste, RedYellowImprovingPaste, RedYellowDecliningPaste
YellowSteadyPaste, YellowImprovingPaste, YellowDecliningPaste
GreenYellowSteadyPaste, GreanYellowImproving Paste,
GreenYellowDecliningPaste
GreenSteadyPaste, GreenImprovingPaste, GreenDecliningPaste
GraySteadyPaste

The source cells in sheets 3-14 will always be the same, (a revision from
my
first question) ie,
Sheet3, cells B3, B13, B23, and B33 hold the graphics to be pasted into
Sheet1
Sheet4, cells B3, B13, B23, and B33 hold the graphics to be pasted into
Sheet1
Etc..
Sheet14, cells B3, B13, B23, and B33 hold the graphics to be pasted into
Sheet1

On the basis of this information, should the code be reconstructed?

In the code, how will the linkage be made between the specific cell in
Sheet1, and its associated cell in, say, Sheet9?

Thanks, Phil

First, graphics are over cells, but they are not associated with the
cells.

It would be much easier to name your graphics in some clever way that
allows
you to loop through them using the name.

But given your premis,


you can loop through your shapes

Dim sh as Worksheet, sh1 as Worksheet
Dim v as Variant, v1 as Variant
Dim rng as Range, rng1 as Range
Dim shp as Shape, i as Long, j as Long
set sh = Worksheets("Sheet1")
set rng = sh.Range("A11, B22, C33")
for each shp in sh.Shapes
set rng1 = sh.range(sh.TopLeftCell, sh.BottomRightCell)
if not intersect(rng,rng1) is nothing then
shp.Delete
end if
Next
'
' now copy the shapes
'
v1 = Array("A11","B22","C33")
v = Array("P3","G19","W32")
j = lbound(v)
for i = 3 to 5
set sh1 = Worksheets("Sheet" & i)
set rng = sh1.Range(v(j))
for each shp in sh1.shapes
set rng1 = sh1.Range(shp.TopLeftCell, shp.BottomRightCell)
if not intersect(rng1,rng) is nothing then
shp.copy
sh.Select
sh.Range(v1(j)).Select
sh.Paste
exit for
end if
Next
j = j + 1
Next

I need a macro to assign to a control button on Sheet1 to:
1.) Delete the graphics in cells A11, B22, C33, ..., etc.
2.) Paste the graphics from:
Sheet3/cellP3 to Sheet1/cellA11,
Sheet4/cellG19 to Sheet1/cell B22
Sheet5/cellW32 to Sheet1/cell C33
etc.?
There will be about 70 of these delete/pastes (updates).
What would the code be?
