I have a simple copy and paste macro which pulls from a
range in one workbook to another. How can I assign that
macro to a command button (from forms)? It can't be a menu
button becuase I will have too many. Does the button call
the macro or do I need additional code (under view code).
I tried to copy my macro code but didn't work.

Thanks.

put the button on the sheet (from the forms toolbar), right click on it and
select assign macro. Actually, when you draw the button on the sheet, you
should get prompted with a dialog to assign a macro.

Once assigned, when you press the button, the button fires the macro.

Thanks, Tom, however it's not working like that for me. I
have Office XP and when I create a button it does not ask
to assign macro nor does it have "assign macro" when right
clicked. I have view code which opens a blank VBA space
for me to author a routine for the button (onclick).
Help also indicates to use View Code.

How should I approach this?

I'm not Tom, but that sure sounds like you used the commandbutton from the
Controltoolbox toolbar (not the Forms toolbar).

I'd double check one more time.
