spinner linked cell problem

[Guest]

Below is the text from concierge chat, unfortunatly this seems to have not
given us the answers we are looking for.

{James Hawkins} I have an enduser who is having problems in excel that are
way beyound my scope of experience.
{James Hawkins} Problem as described by the user:
{James Hawkins} Excel 2003
I add a spinner control to the work sheet
Link it to a cell
SmallChange property is set to 1
Max property is set to 100
Min property is set to -100
When I spin down from 0 to -1, the Value property shows -1 but the linked
cell changes from 0 to 65535. It should change to -1.
Changing the cell format has no effect. How can I fix this?


Second problem:
I add a control to a sheet.
Unless I use a 1 in the Placement property, versus 2 or 3, when I print the
page or preview, all my controls move to the left most side of the sheet. Why
can I not use placement options 2 or 3?

{James Hawkins} That looks like what he is talking about, I will forward the
link to the user.
{Myke} I was not able to locate any specific information relating to your
second issue James.

{James Hawkins} User reply to link: Yes,
This is it. I have already used these workarounds. It is a major pain
because I have so many spin buttons. Linked cells are much easier to updated
than VB code when moving items around the sheet.
{James Hawkins} From the user: The VB code option offered by John Green does
not work. The value is the cell does not move from 0 either way. Back to
square one.


any help would be appreciated

Jim,

1. Set the min to 0, set the max to 200, set the current value to 100
If your linked cell is A1, in another cell add the formula "=A1-100"
Use the other cell as your "linked" cell.

2. see...

Odd eh? Add this code to your worksheet code module

Private Sub SpinButton1_Change()
With SpinButton1
Range(.LinkedCell).Value = .Value
End With
End Sub
