button in a cell to activate a macro
 

Is there a way to create a button in a cell that when clicked will activate a
macro?

Thanks

Display the Forms toolbar, select the Button button, and drag a
rectangle on your worksheet. It will prompt you to assign the macro.
I haven't tried this in 2007, but I imagine that they moved this to
one of the drawing tools now.

Hi,
One way:
View Toolbars Forms
Select the button (hover mouse over each to find "button")
Click on the sheet where you want the button to be.
The Assign Macro window will open.
Choose the macro you want the button to run.
Format the button as desired (Change size, text, etc)
Click away from the button to exit edit mode.
Click button to run macro.

You can also do the same with the shapes from the drawing toolbar

Regards - Dave.

Buttons cannot go into a cell.

They can only lie on top of a cell.

See other replies for adding a button to your sheet.

If you want to just double-click on a cell use double-click event code in the
sheet module.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick( _
ByVal Target As Excel.Range, Cancel As Boolean)

your code or macroname

End sub
