Naming objects on creation
In VBA I can create worksheets and command-buttons but I
want to give them specific 'object names' to make subsequent programming easier. I realise I cannot do this programmatically at run time so am looing for a way to do it on creation, any help would be great, Ta Andy |

Option Explicit Sub Main() Dim wks As Worksheet Set wks = Worksheets.Add Dim cmd As CommandButton Set cmd = UserForm1.CommandButton1 Call MsgBox(wks.Name & vbNewLine & cmd.Caption) End Sub -- Bob Kilmer |

Naming objects on creation
This worked ok for me:
Option Explicit Sub testme01() Dim OLEObj As OLEObject Set OLEObj = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add _ (ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", _ Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, _ Left:=192.75, Top:=57.75, Width:=201.75, _ Height:=54) With OLEObj .Name = "CMDBTN_" & .TopLeftCell.Address(0, 0) End With '------- Dim myBTN As Button Set myBTN = ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(174.75, 172.5, 157.5, 39) With myBTN .Name = "BTN_" & .TopLeftCell.Address(0, 0) End With End Sub Top half for commandbuttons from the control toolbox toolbar and the bottom half for buttons from the Forms toolbar.

And you really don't even need the object variable:
With ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(174.75, 172.5, 157.5, 39) .Name = "BTN_" & .TopLeftCell.Address(0, 0) End With or ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(174.75, 172.5, 157.5, 39).Name = "BTN_1" though using the variables may make subsequent references easier.
