A limitation of Excel :
<From an earlier post
Whilst this refers to Office97, I still see the same in Excel 2002.

"For an ActiveX control to appear and function properly in multiple windows
or panes of the same document, the container application must support the
IViewObject interface. Because Word, Microsoft Excel, and PowerPoint do not
support this interface (as discussed in the previous section), the behavior
of an ActiveX control that is viewed in two different windows or panes of
the same document may be unpredictable."

Seems like you're out of luck.

Not this only applies to ActiveX. If you can use the controls from the Forms
tool box, there is no issue.

Hi
When I add some controls to sheet (e.g. buttons), and use 'Freeze panes'
option then some controls become disabled. E.g.: a half of a button can be
enabled and clicked, second one is like a picture. Why does this happen?
TIA
