    Floating Command Button

    I have a form that is feeding a database. When the user inputs information, he/she may want to check to make sure it was done accurately, so they may refer to the database sheet. When looking at the DATABASE, the newly-added information is in the last row of several hundred names. This list of names is ever-increasing, so I would like to be able to have a COMMAND button on the DATABASE page, but I want it to be at or near the last row. Since the last row will likely shft, is it possible to have the button "float" near my lastrow? How would I accomplish this or does anyone have another remedy. I don't want the user to be forced to return to the top of the sheet in order to use the button.

    Freeze panes and put the button above the frozen row. Or create a userform.

    I created a Userform....that's what I'm trying to get back to. I just don't want to require the user to have to return to the top of the page to find a Command button, and I have so many calculations that adding a row in order to freeze it will be more time-consuming than it is worth.

    You don't need to add a row, and you only need to freeze panes once, and then never think about it again.

    But if you're happy with a userform, I'm happy.

    You may use a button on the Ribbon instead?
