Buttons

[VegasNath]

Is there any benefit in using button's from the control toolbox over those from the forms toolbar? I know that there are more formatting options for control toolbox button's, but are there any other benefits?

I don't think so - apart from the differing formatting options, there's no particular reason for preferring one over the other.

Opposite to what you are asking, but one advantage of the Forms toolbar over the controltoolbox items, is that the Forms items can be added to a chart. I often use them to make generic charts which can apapt to user input.

Thanks both.

My preference is always to use the forms toolbar buttons, I just find them easier to create, modify etc, without having to go into design mode.....

I see no reason to change that (other than it's limited formatting options)

The Forms controls are generally regarded as being more stable on worksheets than the Control Toolbox ones.
