    Creating button by offsetting space

    Hi

    I'm using this to create a button with an assigned macro

    Sub CreateButton()
    ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(199.5, 20, 81, 36).Select
    Selection.Name = "New Button"
    Selection.OnAction = "MoveValue"
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("New Button").Select
    Selection.Characters.Text = "Check Totals"
    End Sub

    However, I want to create the button multiple times, each time offsetting from the previous button running down the Y axis. Essentially I want something like End(xlUp).Offset(1), something that recognises that the space is already taken by another button.

    Many Thanks

    maybe something like this
    Sub CreateButton()
    Dim i&
    With ActiveSheet
        i = .Shapes.Count
        With .Buttons.Add(199.5, 20 + 46 * i, 81, 36)
            .Name = "New Button" & Format(i, "00")
            .OnAction = "MoveValue"
            .Characters.Text = "Check Totals " & Format(i, "00")
        End With
    End With
    End Sub

    I'm going to have multiple buttons on the page already so that doesn't quite solve the problem. Different buttons are going to be generated in different areas of the sheet, so this will offset these buttons by too much
