Beyond closing Excel, I am not aware of any, but maybe we will both be
surprised.

When shapes is created in Excel it automatic gets a incremental number
assigned. Even though I delete all shapes in a workbook and then add a new
one the numbering continues. Is there anyway I can reset this counter in
my
code?
