Text box does not populate linked cell

[Joe Wildman]

Hello all, for cell C6 thru C16, i have it set to = C35, I linked the text
box object to C8 in propertys (and it works, i see the text in C8) the
problem is i have to double click on C8 to get the text to populate into C35,
how do i get this to auto populate with out doing that?

1. copy and paste code below into excel
2. go to cell cell C7 and type in anything,
3. go to cell C35 and you will see a template popup up, expand to see it all
4. Create a text box object
5. link cell C8 to the text box
6. type something in the text box object
7. you will see text in C8 cell but does not show up in C35
8. double click on cell C8 and then you will see the text show up in C35

Question, how do i get the text to show up with out double clicking on Cell
C8?

Hi,

Most likely you are in manual recalc mode - choose Tools, Options,
Calculation, Automatic. (2003)
Choose Formulas, Calculation Options, Automatic (2007)

It was set to auto, still no go, i was able to create a button (as seen
below) and it sets the time up, auto populates the text box and also hits the
vb = cell right and punches the date into the alert template in A35. Just
don't see how to get it to work,

Sub testme()
With TextBox1
[C8] = Date + Hour(Now())
End With

End Sub
