Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but I got an error message saying
that the name was ambiguous. I guess Excel was seeing the old control and
therefore not allowing new controls by the same name. However, I did manage
to get it fixed. See the reply to RADO.

no guarantee, but ..

I'd first try to add the control again then save, close, open the file
again
It that works, you should be close to solving the problem.
