macro buttons

[Sheetal]

hello!

I have just created a button in my excel spreadsheet, and want to
assign a macro to it. I have followed the help in the Excel help menu
which suggested that i right click the button and select assign macro.

However, when i rightclick the button i created, i don't get this
option. i have tried clicking all parts of the button, ie the button
itself, and also the selection boxes.

Does anyone know of any easier ways of creating buttons and then
assigning macros to them, or let me know what i am doing wrong.

Thanks

Sheetal, the buttons have to be from the forms toolbar, view, toolbars forms
to right click and assign the macros, sounds like you have a button from the
control toolbar

Sheetal,

There are two types of buttons you can place on a worksheets: one from the
Forms toolbar and the other from the Controls toolbar. The "assign macro"
is available only for controls from the Forms toolbar. Most likely, you are
using controls from the Controls toolbar.

You can either replace your controls with control from the Forms toolbar and
then use Assign Macro to assign a macro, or you can choose View Code from
the right-click menu and call your code from the Click event procedure in
the worksheet module.

As said before, you only get this message with a button
from the Forms toolbar. However, you should be able to
manually assign a macro to a button from the Control
Toolbox toolbar.
1)Go into design mode by clicking the icon with the set
square and pencil on it, on the Control Toolbox toolbar.
2)Right click on the button and click View Code
3)In the following sub type Call followed by the name of
the macro you wish to assign.

thanks for the previous problem, i have now rectified it. now,

I want to create a macro that can take information from a webpage and
copy into my spreadsheet.

How can i do this?

Everytime this macro is run, the spreadsheet that it will be called
into will be the same.

Thanks
