Question

I’m trying to get started with VBA for Excel and have added the “Developer” tab to the ribbon. I have also in Module1 added a small sub:

Sub Hello()

    MsgBox ("Hello world!")

End Sub

Then I’ve created a button in spreadsheet 1, right click and assigned Hello as it’s macro.

By now I’m thinking this should work, but when I click on it nothing happens.

Further more, if I open the VBA editor window again Module1 have been edited, not also containing my actions?

Sub Hello()

    MsgBox ("Hello world!")

End Sub
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Button 2")).Select
    Selection.OnAction = "Hello"
    Range("G15").Select
    ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Button 2")).Select
    Application.Goto Reference:="Hello"

Whats this mambo jambo? And why does the button not work? 🙁

Answer 1

And try the messagebox without the parantheses, only the quotes. So: msgbox “Blabla”
Delete the code after the sub routine: it was accidentally generated by the macro recorder (without a purpose).
