Can I do the following. I am a novice in VBA. I will try to explain t
the best of my ability.

In Sheet1

I want the code to start in J2 and search down all of the column unti
J200. If it finds the words NEED TO PAY, then put a command button o
anything that can run an assigned macro in the corresponding colum
(K). So if the loop or code finds the words NEED TO PAY in J10 i
would put a button or someting in K10 that would run a macro(have th
ability to run a macro, don't run now), only if it is clicked.

Any help would be wonderful,

please let me know, I probably didn't explain very well

Thanks
jos

Just built this in Excel 2000.
It puts in buttons from the Forms Toolbar and places then
to the right of the cell in J.
It than assigns the macro "Macro3" to the button.

The button position is defined by c.Offset(0, 1)
The 1 is the next cell to the right, 2 is the 2nd, ....

See if this is what you need...

Sub MakeButtons()
Dim rw As Long, c, firstAddress, x, y
With ActiveSheet.Range("J2:J200")

Set c = .Find("need to pay", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
x = c.Offset(0, 1).Top
y = c.Offset(0, 1).Left
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(y, x, 48.75, 13.5).Select
Selection.Name = "Button" & c.Row
Selection.OnAction = "Macro3"
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button" & c.Row).Select
Selection.Characters.Text = ""

Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address < firstAddress
End If
End With
Cells(2, 10).Select
End Sub

P.S.

Your description was clear to me. Especially for a "novice" - well done.

The only thing you might have included is whether or not each button gets
the same macro or not...

And it is recommended that you include which version of Excel you are
using...
