can a button know what cell it is located? I realize that a button can be
shaped and placed anywhere. Perhaps its location can be inferred by its
attributes (coordinates)? If so, how does one fetch these attributes?

Look at the TopLeftCell and BottomRightCell properties of the button.

Hi Al

Assuming you have a button called "MyButton" on Sheet1 then

Sub test()
With Sheets("Sheet1")
MsgBox .Buttons("MyButton").TopLeftCell.Address
MsgBox .Buttons("MyButton").BottomRightCell.Address
End With
End Sub
