Hi Tod, is there any purpose/reason for a Star ?
Anyway you could use a Userform Shaped like a Star (just thinking out side)
For code to changing shapes of userforms see here...includes Star shape.

Tod,

From what I can see, the following menu items can be used to
delete a shape.

Edit Cut
Edit Clear All
Right click Cut

All these menu items can be re-directed to your own macro that
checks what is selected before performing a delete. If your star
shape is selected, bail out, otherwise delete whatever is selected.

A shape can also be deleted using the Delete key, and also Ctrl+X.
Application.Onkey can re-direct those to your special delete macro too.


Regards,
Vic Eldridge

The worksheet has a Star shape on it. The user needs to be
able to move it around, so I have it unlocked when the
sheet is protected. Fine. However, it does not prevent the
user from deleting the shape. Is there a way to allow the
user to move the shape around and not delete it?
