Default Macro Button in a work sheet

You're welcome.

Just for info.

You can assign a macro to just about any object.

An inserted picture, wordart and objects like that.

Try ViewToolbarsForms.

Click on the button icon and draw a button wherever you wish.

Assign the macro to that button.

What I am attempting to is :

ToolsCustomiseFormsButton. Then drag a Button icon up onto the worksheet
and place it somewhere around cell E4.( Im not really bothered exactly where
),but E4 sounds a good a place as any. It want to drag the button on to the
worsheet,bu using the above, will only allow me to drag the button up on to
another toolbar,Which is what I don't want). I have seen this done
previoualy,but i have forgotten,where and how.

I don't understand. This is the macro that would be assigned to any button from
the forms toolbar on any worksheet.

It'll clear the contents of the specified range when the user clicks on that
button.

Hello Dave - Thanks for that,but what I really want is the button within the
worksheet,as the user(s) will not always know how to run a macro,hence the
requirement for the button to allow the user to click on,and let the macro
behind it do all the work.

You can write your code so that you're only using the active sheet.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
with activesheet
msgbox .name 'just to verify
.range("b9,c22,e3:g9,h:h,w:x").clearcontents
end with
end sub

Hello people,

How can i put a button into my worsheet,and attach a macro to it. so that
the button is only relevant to that w/sheet. I know how to drag a button on
the Toolbar from the Forms toolbar and attach a macro,but the same process
doesn't appear to work for my problem.

What I actually want to do is press this button which will then clear down
designated cells prior to use.

I am using Excel 2004
