SYMPTOMS

When you create a user form, and you insert a control on the user form, you can copy the control, but you cannot paste the control onto an Excel worksheet.

The control can be copied to another user form.

Captions and text inside a text box can be copied from the user form and pasted onto an Excel worksheet.

Text on an Excel worksheet can be copied and pasted onto a user form, but inserted objects copied from a worksheet, such as charts, cannot be pasted onto a user form.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because objects cannot be copied and then pasted between an Excel worksheet and the Visual Basic Editor.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
