'Assign Macro' dialog missing in Excel XP

S

Simon Dau

I'm trying to assign a macro to a command button, however
the 'Assign Macro' dialog is missing from the context
menu when right clicking the button. I have only been to
do it when having opened an old worksheet (created in
excel 97) with existing command buttons & macros, then
the option is there to assign a macro.

I have searched the net for a solution however to no
avail. I know it is possible since Excel Help states that
is the official way to do it. I have office Xp installed
with service pack 2.

I hope you will be able to help me.

Thank you

It's possible your using the ActiveX style command buttons. These differ in
behaviour from the other forms style buttons.

To use the assign macro type buttons make sure you are selecting a command
button from the FORMS toolbar NOT the 'control toolbox'.
