See Debra Dalgleish's site for creating a Toolbar with your button and
assign a macro to that button.

Note: the instructions found are for creating an add-in.

Just modify those instructions to place the code into a general module in
the workbook the students are to use.

Hi
I know how to create a custom button and attach a macro to that button
and that I can automatically load a button 'Private Sub
Workbook_Activate()' (Alt F11). Which I need to do because this
spreadsheet is used by many of my students (different profiles) and I
only want it available in a single spreadsheet file that they will
access. My problem lies in that each time I load this Spreadsheet a new
button is placed on the toolbar (i.e. load 3 times, I end up with 3 new
buttons) and I can't seem to get the button to link to the macro
without it running the command and not waiting until the button is
pressed.
Can anybody help please as it is causing me much distress.

Thank you

Garry
