    I have tried to remove "call" but it still does not work.

    Anyone able to help me run a macro from a module?

    This is the error i get.
    http://prntscr.com/nev9u3 (screenshot)
    variable not defined

    But why should i define a variable, all i want is to hide or unhide a control.

    How should i type this code.
    Not been able to find any solution yet.

    Reviewing the error message it is pointing out a variable not define ...!
    Which statement is higtlighted ?
    Where is the label extinstr1_label ?

    Can you attached an Excel sample file ?

    Re: Run macro from activeX button to module? strange error?

    I have setup an example excel and for some reason that code work.

    it reacts on sheet1 with the same error
    Sheet1.extinstr1_label.Visible = True

    but i have tried sheet1-sheet10.
    can i define my sheet some other way?

    the file i need to build this is in, is quite old. maybe someone have created 100 sheets and i should have sheet35 instead... i dont know
