Microsoft Exam 77-888 Topic 2 Question 6 Discussion

ActiveX controls are used on worksheet forms, with or without the use of VBA code, and on VBA UserForms. They are used when a user needs more flexible design requirements than those provided by Form controls. They have extensive properties that can be used to customize their appearance, behavior, fonts, and other characteristics. The user can control different events that occur when an ActiveX control is interacted with. He can also write macros that respond to events associated with the ActiveX controls. When a user interacts with the control, the VBA code runs to process any events that occur for that control. The ActiveX controls cannot be added to chart sheets from the user interface or to XLM macro sheets. It is not possible to assign a macro to run directly from the ActiveX control.

Answer option A is incorrect. A form control is an original control that is compatible with old versions of Excel, beginning with Excel version 5.0. It is designed for use on XLM macro sheets. It can be used when a user wants to simply interact with cell data without using VBA code and when he wants to add controls to chart sheets. By using form controls, the user can run macros. He can attach an existing macro to a control, or write or record a new macro. These controls cannot be added to UserForms, used to control events, or modified to run Web scripts on Web pages.

Answer option B is incorrect. The accounting template is used for numbering months of a financial year to period numbering. It is used to compare month to month, actual v budget, quarter to quarter, year to year variances. It is the initial point for other reports that need the use of months.

Answer option C is incorrect. Trust Center is where a user can find security and privacy settings for Microsoft Office 2010 programs.
