Excel Form - Where is the rectangle control?

[TheFitz]

Hi All,

This should be an easy one, and it may be me being stupid!!

I'm trying to create my first Excel Form, which shouldn't be too hard, seeing as I've used Access for 10+ years!!

The issue I'm having is all I want to do is to add a couple of rectangle shapes from the toolbar into the form, however, the rectangle control doesn't seem to exist and I can't find it anywhere.

I'm using Excel XP.

Any ideas please,

Thanks,


Fitz

There is no "rectangle" control as such - there *is* a Frame control which does a *similar* job...

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

Are you sure you don't mean labels or either buttons? Those are totally separate controls.

Also, if you really want to just have a rectangle on the form, you could do it with a label, I suppose, just match up the font color to the label's fill color, and it just looks like a rectangle. Or you could embed an image in the form, using the image control.
