I have a textbox on sheet (1) that the user will be entering a great deal of
data in. I have several reports (on other sheets) that need to display this
same data. I have been trying to link one textbox to another
(unsuccesfully), or set the values equal to each other without going to the
page. Any suggestions?

Got it. Was not a control toolbox textbox.

Sub movethevalue()

Dim thetestvalue As String

Worksheets("sheet1").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text Box 4").Select
thetestvalue = Selection.Characters.Text
Worksheets("sheet2").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text Box 1").Select
Selection.Characters.Text = thetestvalue

End Sub
