Default Detect which shape was clicked?

"Thief_" wrote in message
...
IF I have 3 autoshapes, rectangles, on a worksheet, how do I detect which
shape was clicked by the user so that I can, say, delete it or change its
properties?


If you assign the same macro to all of them, Application.Caller will
return the name of the shape that fired the macro. You can then use
Worksheets("Whatever").Shapes("CallerName") to get an object reference to
that shape.
