ExcelBanter - How do I automate the moving between tabs in a form?

The easiest thing would be Insert Hyperlink Place in this document...then
type in the cell reference...probably A1.

If you really want a macro to do this...
Link your button to this macro:
Sub BuildTOC_A3()
Cells(3, 1).Select
BuildTOC
End Sub

That will call this...
Sub BuildTOC()
'listed from active cell down 7-cols -- DMcRitchie 1999-08-14 2000-09-05
Dim iSheet As Long, iBefore As Long
Dim sSheetName As String, sActiveCell As String
Dim cRow As Long, cCol As Long, cSht As Long
Dim lastcell
Dim qSht As String
Dim mg As String
Dim rg As Range
Dim CRLF As String
Dim Reply As Variant
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
cRow = ActiveCell.Row
cCol = ActiveCell.Column
sSheetName = UCase(ActiveSheet.Name)
sActiveCell = UCase(ActiveCell.Value)
mg = ""
CRLF = Chr(10) 'Actually just CR
Set rg = Range(Cells(cRow, cCol), Cells(cRow - 1 +
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count, cCol + 7))
rg.Select
If sSheetName < "$$TOC" Then mg = mg & "Sheetname is not $$TOC" & CRLF
If sActiveCell < "$$TOC" Then mg = mg & "Selected cell value is not
$$TOC" & CRLF
If mg < "" Then
mg = "Warning BuildTOC will destructively rewrite the selected area" _
& CRLF & CRLF & mg & CRLF & "Press OK to proceed, " _
& "the affected area will be rewritten, or" & CRLF & _
"Press CANCEL to check area then reinvoke this macro (BuildTOC)"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'make range visible
Reply = MsgBox(mg, vbOKCancel, "Create TOC for " &
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count _
& " items in workbook" & Chr(10) & "revised will now occupy up to 10
