The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you create a copy of an ActiveX control by copying and pasting it to another location, any Visual Basic for Applications code associated with the events of the control will not be copied to the new instance of the control.

STATUS

This behavior is by design of Microsoft Excel 97.
