I'm a first year mech engr student and I decided to make a macro to setup our homework sheets for my excel class. I currently have it in two parts. The first macro creates a prompt sheet where you fill in the required information and also a "Ready" button which executes the second macro on press. The second macro is what actually creates the sheets with the given info from the prompt page.

What I'd like to do, is to be able to compress this all down into a single macro. In order to do that I need to figure out how to place the code of the second macro into the VBA-created button itself, rather than have the button call to another macro.

If only I could paste the code of the second macro right after "Selection.OnAction = "...

You might be better off posting the 2 macros in question...then someone may be able to assist in "compressing" them into one !!

So I would like the code in "SheetCreation" to be embedded into the button created in "HWSetupPrompt". Without calling it as a seperate macro of course...

Don't have Excel at the moment but have shortened the first code up a bit.......will have look later if no one else joins in.
VBA Code: 
Sub HWSetupPrompt()
    ActiveSheet.Name = "SetupSheet"
    Columns("A:C").ColumnWidth = 18.29
    Range("A1").Value = "HMK#"
    Range("B1").Value = "Chapter#"
    Range("C1").Value = "Problem #s In Order"
    Range("A4").Value = "Name Below"
    With Range("A1:C2, C3:C4, A4:A5").Borders
        .LineStyle = xlContinuous
        .ColorIndex = 0
