On an additional note, the old Forms controls are considered by Microsoft to be obsolete, so they will not appear, by default, in the Object Browser. It could get confusing if you mixĪnd match the Forms contols with the ActiveX controls. I would strongly suggest, though, that whatever route you do, stick with it for all controls. I recommend that you go with the ActiveX controls, but that is just my opinion. Not found that to be the case in my experience. It has been said by some respected developers that the ActiveX contols on worksheets are less stable that the old Forms controls, but I have They give you many more options for customization. I generally use the ActiceX controls for controls on worksheets. Controls that are placed on userįorms are always ActiveX controls that reside in the MSFORMS library. For controls that are placed on worksheets, you have the old original controls that appear on the Forms command bar and you have ActiveX/MSForms controls that appear on the Controls command bar.
