    Add Note Button

    Hi All,

    So I told my boss I was good at Excel... And now he expects me to generate this planner for him. I'm close, but cannot seem to write the correct code for the button.

    In the attached spreadsheet I want to generate simple notes by the click of a button, while also time stamping the note.

    For example, The Word in C1, "pop" should appear in C3; along with a time stamp in D3. The cell C1 should then be cleared. Upon additional notes, I'd like them to be stored below, so C4, C5, C6...

    (I'd like to have an identical format and button on each new sheet I create)

    Thanks for the help guys. This is the best learning tool I've found so far for Excel VBA.

    Well... some advices:

    Start recording the macros exactly how you want and what you want them to do
    Check them and debug the code one by one (pressing F8)
    Try to replace the "Activate", "Select", "Selection" stuff with the object itself

    Another advice: do the macros on a Module... not inside Worksheet Page (instead you are doing a worksheet event), and try not to use ActiveX objects in Worksheet... use the other kind of objects

    Anyway, this time I'll keep your button and the event into the Worksheet Page

    Try this:

    Gatti,

    That code worked great for my first sheet. However, when I tried to copy it over to my next sheet an error popped up saying something like "Cannot run macro, because they are either disabled or not found in open workbooks."

    This is weird because the button still works on the first sheet, so the macro is still active. I changed the sheet name in the code correctly for the new sheet, and enabled macros in Trust Center Settings (maybe not a good idea). I also changed the code from private sub to sub.

    Need a bit of help troubleshooting this. The new file is attached.

    Thanks!
