Default Still Need Help Repositioning Comments

I should have added, that the comment must be visible to do this. When
hidden, it apparently snaps back to a default position over which we have no
control.

Actually, that's true, you can move the comments. The following code did
work using these numbers and adding a offset to the Top syntax:


Sub ResetComments()
Dim cmt As Comment
For Each cmt In ActiveSheet.Comments
cmt.Shape.Top = cmt.Parent.Offset(0, 0).Top - 60
cmt.Shape.Left = _
cmt.Parent.Offset(0, 0).Left + 5
Next
End Sub

Unfortunately there is no way to change where a comment appears when we
hover the mouse over a cell.

I'm trying to position Comments above the cell they relate to. When
running
this code, (trying different numbers for Top, Left), the comment only
appears
repositioned when I right click the cell and click "Edit Comment", i.e. in
edit mode. Thus, the code isn't working. I need to resolve this today,
if
possible. Help, please.

Sub RePosComments()
Dim myCell As Range
Dim myRng As Range
Sheets("Detail").Activate
Range("dAllHeaders").Select

Set myRng = Selection

For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
If Not (myCell.Comment Is Nothing) Then
With myCell.Comment

.Shape.Top = .Parent.Offset(0, 1).Top + 5
.Shape.Left = .Parent.Offset(0, 1).Left - 5
End With
End If
Next
End Sub
