How to lock the Data Controls' location from being altered by othe
 

hi,

I have created a command button on one of my MS Excel worksheet, but I don't
wish that others could be able to alter my command button's location; let's
say I want the command button to be placed on 150 (top), 150 (left).

Although I have tried to use the protection feature offered in Visual Basic
Editor; but this only can protect others from viewing the codes & the
properties of the button, others still can move the button using mouse click
& drag!!!!

Is there any way that the location of the button can be locked????
Please advice if anyone out there has any ideal to do so.....
Thanking in advance.

If you use a button from the control toolbox, they need to go to design mode
before they could move it. Not perfect, but it is more effort.

what actually i want is, a way to lock the button's location as the way the
codes and properties can; even in the design mode!!!
Which mean even one entered the design mode but some how he is not the
authorized person to do the editing; he has NO way to alter the button
location as well......

Could it be done in Macro????
