    Command Buttons moving and resizing when opening excel

    Hello everyone

    The only problem I currently have is with my command buttons. I size and position them as desired and chose the 'Don't move or size with cells'.

    However when I save and then reopen them I find them well off the screen and 10 times bigger. I've searched numerous forums on the internet and no one has a 100% workaround.

    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Re: Command Buttons moving and resizing when opening excel

    Are you using ActiveX or form buttons? If ActiveX, this has been an issue for a while now. ActiveX buttons are usually not the best choice, go with form buttons. Here is a link that might have a Hotfix for you...

    There was also this post in a much older thread that might help...
    Thanks for the quick reply. That solved the problem. I also found a
    workaround for the issues. Under the "Format Control | Properties" page for
    the control, select the "Move and size with cells" rather than the defautl
    "Move but don't size with cells."

    Thanks Tom

    They are Form Buttons and the fix above didn't work unfortunately.

    Any other ideas please?

    Hmm.....That's all I know. Several people have had the problem, but it's usually related to using ActiveX buttons.....Not sure where to go from here...sorry.

    Have you considered using shapes instead of buttons? I'm not sure if they suffer from the same resizing issue you are having, but if they do it is straightforward to delete and put them back on in VBA.

    The code below might help if you think the approach would be useful for you:
