what is my self?
 

Hi!

Once someone helped me to do so:
Set MyFile = Workbooks.Open(file1)

- myfile becomes an object I can work with. (thanks!)

but how do I get the place, where my button is - the sheet, on which
the event is triggered?

Can you not just use ActiveSheet?

Is this a commandbutton from the control toolbox toolbar?

And is your code behind that worksheet?

msgbox me.name
would give you the name of the sheet that holds the code.

or
application.goto me.range("a1")
to return to A1 of that sheet.


======
If you're using a button from the Forms toolbar:

Dim ActSheet as worksheet
set actsheet = activesheet
'do lots of stuff
'and you can refer to that variable

application.goto actsheet.range("a1")
'or whatever

no, when I use
Set MyFile = Workbooks.Open(file1)
it might be something else

Set btnSheet = ActiveSheet

There are two types of buttons you can use on a worksheet--one is from the
Control toolbox toolbar and the other is from the Forms tooblar.

My previous post had two different suggestions--one for each type button.
