"Control Toolbar" and "Forms" in Excel

[Brian]

In MS Excel , Under "View" ====> "Toolbars", what's the difference
between "Control Toolbar" and "Forms" ?
It seems they are very similar .

Thanks.

For ease of use I suggest using the forms toolbar

The forms toolbar is simplest, and is probably best integrated into Excel.

The control toolbox is harder to work with, but offers more flexibility
(such as background colour of controls).

Another disadvantage of the Forms controls, no textbox. Either use a drawing
bar textbox, or a controls toolbox.

Use the one you are comfortable with. Personally, I don't like controls on a
worksheet, I prefer trapping events, or adding toolbar buttons.
