custom toolbar button questions
i created a user form in my master workbook. created a new macro button to
run it. i then exported the user form and imported it into the client's workbook. when i click the macro button, it opens my workbook and runs the form. so, i have 2 questions: 1. how do i edit the custom button to assign which macro it runs? ended up deleting it and creating a new one. 2. how do i specify in the code to run show the userform from the current workbook? i tired thisworkbook.userform1.show and activeworkbook.userform1.show. -- Gary |

custom toolbar button questions
Code can't run userforms in other workbooks without taking extraordinary
measures, so it should use the userform in that workbook. tools=Customize, This puts Excel in a design mode for commandbars. Leave the dialog showing, then go to your button and right click on it. Select Assign macro. Change the setting for what macro to run. In code, you can do something like Application.Commandbars("Custom 1").Controls(3).OnAction = "MyWorkbooks.xls!MyMacro" -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Gary Keramidas" <GKeramidasATmsn.com wrote in message ... i created a user form in my master workbook. created a new macro button to run it. i then exported the user form and imported it into the client's workbook. when i click the macro button, it opens my workbook and runs the form. so, i have 2 questions: 1. how do i edit the custom button to assign which macro it runs? ended up deleting it and creating a new one. 2. how do i specify in the code to run show the userform from the current workbook? i tired thisworkbook.userform1.show and activeworkbook.userform1.show. -- Gary |

other workbook 'N:\My Documents\Excel\RECCU\FSA\Blank1.xls'!Run_Form it would load this workbook and then run the form -- Gary "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

custom toolbar button questions
i guess what happens, is no matter which macro i assign to the custom
button, it always references that workbook and that macro from which it was installed. the button is part of "my excel" configuration, so no matter which workbook i open, that button points to the workbook and macro assigned to it. i would have to go to each computer that i want to access the form and create a custom button. but then when that user moved to another computer, it would create a problem again, what's the best way to activate the form in each user's workbook, i don't want it to load unless they click a button and i didn't want to create a command button on each sheet. -- Gary "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

custom toolbar button questions
I interpreted you to run a macro in the new workbook containing the imported
form But You want to run the imported form form a different workbook. This is the situation that requires extraordinary measures. Extraordinary measures means you have to have code in the users workbook that displays the userform in the users workbook. If you want that, then it would be easier to use the onaction property of the commandbar button to reassign the button to that workbook when it is active using the workbook.activate or worksheets.activate events. Or you need to modify the Master form to run from the master workbook ('N:\My Documents\Excel\RECCU\FSA\Blank1.xls') but have the userform and its code designed to work with data in the users workbook. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Gary Keramidas" <GKeramidasATmsn.com wrote in message ... i guess what happens, is no matter which macro i assign to the custom button, it always references that workbook and that macro from which it was installed. the button is part of "my excel" configuration, so no matter which workbook i open, that button points to the workbook and macro assigned to it. i would have to go to each computer that i want to access the form and create a custom button. but then when that user moved to another computer, it would create a problem again, what's the best way to activate the form in each user's workbook, i don't want it to load unless they click a button and i didn't want to create a command button on each sheet. -- Gary "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

custom toolbar button questions
ok, here's the scenario.
there are 10 workbooks, all will have the userform code. the 10 users, may use different computers each day, so whatever activates the form needs to be within the workbook, so it uses the user form in that workbook. the userform is used to input data on 12 sheets, one for each month. i don't want the userform to display automatically, just if they want to use it. so a toolbar button seemed like a good way to go, i'd only have to add a toolbar button on all of the pc's. but like i mentioned, assigning a macro to that button, follows the workbook. i could put a command button on all 120 sheets, but don't really want to do that. i figure there has to be a way to assign a macro to a toolbar button, even if it's a custom toolbar, that always points to the open workbooks run_form macro, but i could be wrong. -- Gary "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

custom toolbar button questions
tried your idea, changed custom 1 to custom button (that's what it says the
name is anyway), would not work. no name works other than button, but that works no matter what my custom button's name is. i guess i just need a way to assign that code to the custom button on the toolbar when the workbook opens. -- Gary "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

"Custom 1" was an example name of a custom floating commandbar.
Controls(3) referred to the 3rd control/button on that commandbar. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Gary Keramidas" <GKeramidasATmsn.com wrote in message ... tried your idea, changed custom 1 to custom button (that's what it says the name is anyway), would not work. no name works other than button, but that works no matter what my custom button's name is. i guess i just need a way to assign that code to the custom button on the toolbar when the workbook opens. -- Gary "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...
