I am using Excel 2003 on Windows XP.

If someone has a concise function to determine if an ActiveX control on a
spreadsheet exists, could you please post example code? For example,
ComboBox1?

Thanks much in advance.

Please disregard this post. I located a function to do it.
Thanks to all who considered this issue and please excuse any inconvenience.

ActiveX controls are in the OLEObjects collection.

Dim obj as OleObject
Dim cbx as MSForms.combobox

bExits = False
for each obj in Activesheet.OleObjects
if typeof obj.Object is MSForms.Combobox then
set cBx = obj.Object
if lcase(cbx.name) = "combobox1" then
bExists = True
exit for
end if
end if
Next

Thanks Tom. I prefer your method to the other one I had found.
