Locking button to a cell/range
 
Hello,

I have a button on a worksheet that has to stay always in the boundaries of
the cell/range I put it on. I.e. I need lo somehow "lock" it to the
cell/range.

Which is to correct way to do it programattically?

Thank you for your time,
Nacho

Assuming you're asking about a command button from Control Toolbox or a
button from the Forms toolbar, you can prevent a user from selecting and
moving it by protecting the worksheet (Tools, Protection, Protect Sheet).

If you're asking about a toolbutton on a toolbar, these are intended to
float above the worksheet, not to be tied down to a particular cell.

It's a Control Toolbox button. This will disable modifications of the whole
worksheet, which is unwanted in my case. I guess there is not other way, so
I should put up with this.

Thanks,
Nacho
