XL2k: ActiveX Controls on sheets.

[Mike Mertes]

I can't seem manipulate ActiveX controls on sheets from public VB code.

This code works:
Debug.Print ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("ComboBox1").Name

It returns the name of an ActiveX combo box... But, I can't use, for
instance, .AddItem instead of .Name.

Maybe the problem is that the properties and methods for MSXL's ActiveX
controls on sheets are different from the properties and methods used to
manipulate the same controls on forms? If that is the case, I can't find a
list of properties and methods

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it!

Thanks everyone.
-Mike

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects("ComboBox1").Object.AddItem
"item1"

the OLEObject is the container. The object is the combobox. A property
like the listfillrange belongs to the container, however.

Aha! Problem solved.

Thanks Tom! The world owes you a hand for disolving ignorance! Share your
