For data entry with complex validation, a userform is indeed preferable.

But if you want tojust want to add a few check boxes or option buttons to a worksheet, without needing VBA code, controls from the Forms toolbar are very handy.
And a scroll bar on top of a chart can be a good way to let the user modify chart parameters.
Best wishes,
Hans

Hi Chris,

I see. Well, as Hans said already: if the data entry is complex, a userform may be the best way to handle it.

As Hans said, I was referring to the controls you can put on your worksheet, which are devided in two camps: the form controls and the control toolbox controls, AKA ActiveX controls. The Form controls have my preference.
Here here! I find the activeX control toolbox controls a nightmare to work with. I much prefer the Forms toolbar.
