I need to create 'Command Buttons' to reside on a worksheet

Jeff,

Here's what I come up with by running the Macro Recorder and a little
tweaking:

Sub make_buttons()
Dim cbutton As OLEObject

Set cbutton = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Comma ndButton.1",
Link:=False _
, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=173.25, Top:=75.75, Width:=49.5,
Height:=33.75)
Set cbutton = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Comma ndButton.1",
Link:=False _
, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=258, Top:=78.75, Width:=50.25,
Height:=27.75)

End Sub

Jeff,

When I run this macro it puts 2 buttons from the Control Toolbox on the
active worksheet. It sounds like that's what you want. Does it not do that
for you?

Works great Doug.

Can a Loop be used to create numbers of command buttons.
I seach a column for various strings in a Row and create the
number buttons based on the count of strings

For example A1 = Procedure
A22 = Procudure

the count for creating the buttons would be two for the worksheet
for 'Procecure' in column A.

Thank you for your kindness in helping.

Jeff,

You're welcome.

This counts the number of "Procedures" in column A and puts buttons at the
top of column B, one for each cell starting in B2:

Sub make_buttons()
Dim i As Long
Dim cbutton As OLEObject

For i = 1 To WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A:A"), "Procedure")
With ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 2)
Set cbutton =
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="forms.Comma ndButton.1", _
Left:=.Left, Top:=.Top, Width:=.Width, Height:=.Height)
End With
Next i

End Sub

Let me know if there's more needed.

Yes this works great :-)
thank you

All I have to do now is change the command button names each time through
the loop

I believe it should be... forms.CommandButton.i

Hmmmm...
Maybe it will work using the for loop var i


For i = 1 To WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A:A"), "Procedure")
With ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 2)
Set cbutton =
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="forms.Comma ndButton.i", _
Left:=.Left, Top:=.Top, Width:=.Width, Height:=.Height)

Next i

Sorry about that I asked a dumb question.
It works ok as is.
I was trying to name each command button

as a custom name rather than 'commandbutton1'

Nameing is no big deal, sorry about that
However what is critical is...
I need to space down each newly created command button
by 8 rows, in the same column so it will align up with
existing data in each row.
