Thanks for the reply, Bob.

The button I'm working with was created from the Forms toolbar, so I would
need to use the Button object.

I'm still looking for a way to "gray-out" the button, or provide some
other
visual cue when it's disabled. Any idea how to accomplish this?

Is there any way to use VBA to disable or "gray-out" a command button
in
a
worksheet that was created from the Forms toolbar?

I tried using

worksheets("sheetName").shapes("cmdName").enabled = false

but I get an "object doesn't support this property or method" example.

I know I can turn the visible property on and off, but I'd rather have
it
grayed out when it's not available so it's presence is still
displayed.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
