    Control Text Box - Reference Not Valid

    I've got a section in my worksheet where I want imformation to be typed in or pasted.

    I need this text box to have a scrolling bar as potentially a lot of information could be entered.

    I've inserted a text box using the control tool box.

    I cant enter any information! In the formula window it states =EMBED("Forms.TextBox.1",""), and if i try and overwrite this or click in the text box an error message "Reference not Valid" appears - can anyone help me please?

    Many Thanks

    follow the following steps:
    1. Go to Developer tool
    2. Insert a Text box (Active x Control)
    3. Select the textbox
    4. Right click and select the Textbox Object then select the Edit
    5. Now you will found that your cursor will be in the textbox
    6. Now you can write any thing else in this text box

    I hope the above information is very useful for you and as i hope that i told you the same things which you required.

    Tell me if it is working or not?
