Placeing buttons on spreadsheet
 

I have a spreadsheet in which the user is to paste info from another program,
then press a button placed on the spreadsheet and the macro will do some
calculations. All these things work for me. My problem is that my buttons are
placed directly on the spreadsheet, making them not very "stable" i.e. the
user can move, delete them. I would like to have placed in some form of
container (so that it looks like a userform etc. and that this container is
"glued" to the spreadsheet.) If possible I would like protect these buttons
in some way. If you understand what i mean and know how to do this please
help me!

Yes that sounds like I good solution. However I am not sure what you mean by
pane (I do not have the english version..I am writing a macro for Excel with
the VB 6.3 in Excel). I can add buttons but I have not found any type of
pane, do you know where to find it?

I would probably use the first few rows as a header, and freeze the
pane so that they are always 'frozen to the screen'. Place your button
in this section and using the properties of the button, ensure it's
locked and that you have the "Dont Move or Size with Cells" option
selected.

Finally, select all other rows except the first few which have been
frozen, goto properties and unlock the cells. Then protect the sheet
via the tools option.

You need to select the row just after where your 'header' finishes,
then click Windows Freeze Panes.

Thank you for your help but I think that you are mistaken. By frezzing panes
you only affect the viewing mode and it has nothing to do with the contents
of the cells. Thanks anyhow!

you could create a custom toolbar which only pops up when the appropriate
spreadsheet is activated. that way it is separate from the worksheetand so
not affected by the cells
