    Creating a Text box that pulls info from cell in another sheet.

    Hi All,

    This should be a nice simple one. I have a workbook with a cover sheet, the Cover sheet has images with Macros associated with them (ActiveX images). The cover is referenced as Sheet3. The Data I need to display is located in Cell B3 of Sheet2.

    All I need to do is have a Text box which is permanently there on top of the ActiveX images which displays the contents of cell B3 from Sheet2.

    That's it, I assume something relatively simple for those with experience and skill (that's not me!)

    1) Add the ActiveX TextBox to your sheet3
    2) Right-click the Textbox and select PROPERTIES
    3) In the Linked Cell property enter: Sheet2!B3

    Thank you for that.

    Small note:

    I had to name the Cell B3 as entering Sheet2!B3 wouldn't return the value. Providing it with a Name Reference was the ideal.
