    Floating Control Button

    I am looking to create control buttons (with assigned macros) that will float over the spreadsheet and therefore will still be visible the user scrolls down the worksheet.

    Thanks for your prompt response. I did see some examples, but was unable to determine which one addressed my concern. Maybe I'm just being 'slow' today.

    Excellent...thank you. I apologize for the senior moment. One final question, how do I get it to autormatically run the Create_Toolbar macro when I open the file?
