Default Variable Button Name based on Data? Can it be done?


Hi

I am afraid I have been asking a lot of questions here as I develop my application. I hope
the results are useful to others too.

I have push buttons on my spreadsheet, and would very much like to be able to change the
name on them as conditions on the spreadsheet change. For example, we have some fields and
functions that are linked to the month and day (a variable based on other conditions). I
would like to be able to change button text so that the month and day that appear on the
button (although the actual macro linked to the button will not change). The data I would
like to show in the button resides in cells in the spreadsheet, and is being used for
other things as well.

My problem is that when I edit the button contents, all I get it the hard data I enter.
Playing around with the name in properties does not get me far either. I don't even know
if there is a way to do it, but if there is can someone share it with me please?

Regards

John Baker
