Command button

[Steve]

Hiya all!

Is it possible to chnage the name of a command button to something thats in
a cell? example. I have a cell with a product name in it but this name
needs to be the name of the command button so you know what button your
pressing, but as this product name changes I need the name of the button to
change too without doing it manually.

Is this possible?

Private prev As Variant

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1:H10" '<== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Me.Buttons(prev).Name = .Value
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
prev = Target.Value
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

If I understand what you want correctly, I think this code will work for you...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then CommandButton1.Caption = Target.Value
End Sub

Note: This assume the Command Button is an ActiveX one (that is, **not** from the Forms toolbar).

Change the "$A$1" to whatever cell address your product name is in... just make sure to use an absolute address (that is, with the $ signs as shown).
