Control Toolbox grayed out in Excel Spreadsheet
I have a workbook that I have added a form to. Most of the time, only
the form will be visible. I added a minimize button to the form which hides the form and minimizes Excel. To reactivate the form I want to add a button to one of the spreadsheets in the workbook. However, the controls in the toolbox are grayed out in this spreadsheet, but not if I open a new workbook. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your assistance- Tamara |

Control Toolbox grayed out in Excel Spreadsheet
Hi Tom,
Thank you for responding. After reading some of the previous posts, I checked to make sure my workbook was not protected. It is not. I did create the form which populates the worksheets with data before trying to add a control to a new worksheet added to the workbook. I created a shortcut macro to reopen the form, but I would rather have a button on the spreadsheet. Thanks again- Tamara *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |
