I have a worksheet that updates from a database query every fiv
minutes. With each update, a row is generated for each record in th
query. The number of records returned from the query varies with eac
new query. I have figured out (many, many thanks to Chip Pearson) ho
to dynamically generate a command button and its attached code for eac
record displayed on the worksheet.

However, now I need to figure out how to determine which command butto
was pressed when the user clicks on one of the command button
generated at runtime.

For example, the code that is generated for each command button look
like this:

Sub Button3_Click()

'Now I need to figure out, in this case, that button 3 (as oppose
to button 4 or 5) was pressed

End Sub

Any ideas or help would be very greatly appreciated!! Thank you i
advance

Surely, if it is the Button3 event, you must already know it is button 3?

Since the OP talked about "attached code" rather than "event", it could
be that the button is a Forms control with an attached macro...

Maybe, the _Click may have misled me.

Let's await the OP's response<G.

Stick this in your attached Macro:

MsgBox Application.Calle
