Default Linking TextBox to a cell -- Urgent

Right click on the textbox - Properties.
Next to "Linked Cells" type in the address of the cell you
want to link.

Best regards

You may also select the cell, then in the formula bar enter =Sheet1!A1 or
whatever the reference is.

Not getting the "properties" option when right clicking on the object
(TextBox). TextBox.text needs to be linked to a cell.

However, I am able to link a cell to a textbox object by:

1. Selecting the Text Box, and then...
2. In the Formula bar, created a link to a cell by typing = and then
selecting the cell. The contents of the cell are displayed in the Text
Box.

But I would like to do the process above in reverse. The cell should
display the content of the TextBox Object. Thanks!!

There are two textboxes that you can use.

I think you used the one from the Forms toolbar. It shows the behavior that you
describe (but don't want).

There's another textbox that comes from the ControlToolbox toolbar. This is the
one that has Properties available behind the rightclick (and has that nice two
way linkage).

Try adding one from that controltoolbox toolbar and see if you're happy. If
yes, then dump the one from the forms toolbar.
