Custom button-lock
I noticed that when creating a custom button to start a macro it
doesn't always work. Sometime the custom button will be looking at a different file. Is there anyway to just lock that button to only that one macro and if it's not in that file then don't run. What's happening is I move the excel file and then the custom button won't work. Or if I rename the file the custom button will rename automatically even if I don't want it to. Basically, if I have two workbooks which ever is activate the button looks in that notebook and then neither buttons on both workbooks work correctly. I hope someone can understand what I'm saying and can help. Thanks |

Custom button-lock
If the the workbook with the button is open and you change the workbook that
the button refers to, the reference will adjust. Avoid that condition. If the workbook with the button is closed, then you can make all the changes you want and the button will not change. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy " wrote: I noticed that when creating a custom button to start a macro it doesn't always work.
