How to call out object's text w/o selecting
If Right(Sheets("DATABASE VIEW").Shapes
("stations").Characters.Text, 3) = "OFF" Then hasstation = 1 This is what I am trying to do, I want to check to see if the text (the last 3 letters) in the button called "stations" are "OFF". I do not want to select the button to do this, however. I tried above script, but it does not work. Let me know if you have a solution. As always, for the millionth time!, all help is appreciated! Thanks. |
