Actually, comment is a shape. So, assuming that it is added to "D8", you can:
[tt]With Range("D8"
' read position of the cell
x = .Left
y = .Top
With .Comment.Shape
' move comment relative to the cell
.Left = x - 20
.Top = y + 50
End With
End With[/tt]
combo
[tt]With Range("D8"
' read position of the cell
x = .Left
y = .Top
With .Comment.Shape
' move comment relative to the cell
.Left = x - 20
.Top = y + 50
End With
End With[/tt]

Hi combo
I tried your code. The funny thing is the comment box still in the same position, only I right click mouse, try to edit comment box, I can see its position changed. because I changed around the x, y value. it looks like the comment box having some default position to hold it, I am not sure. can you tell me why?

Hi Cathy
It seems that comment has two positions. The first one is for editing and when the 'show comment' option is on - comment is always visible. Dragging the comment or using above code moves the it permanently (even if the comment box is invisible). The second position is where it popups while moving mouse over a cell. This seems to be fixed, related to the position of red dot comment indicator. As xlbo pointed, there is no positioning properties for this case.
