    Question ActiveX Command Buttons - Dont stick in the same place?

    Hi,

    Anyone know much about how to get some command buttons to stick in one place?

    I currently have two in a summary sheet. Each button runs a similar code which clears and deletes (by shifting cells upward) at the start of the process, then populates data.

    It's rather annoying though that I cant have the buttons stick to one zone, they end up moving left or right depending on which button I press. Each report also changes column sizes, dont know if that's relevant?

    Anyhow, thanks for the help! The code is below in case it helps too.

    Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

    You probably need to place the buttons in an area that does not get affected by your column or row manipulation.

    Format Control, select "Don't move or size with cells".
