I think what Dave meant was that if you have a variable that points to the
worksheet to which you have copied, then on that variable you can call
buttons.delete method.

You can also do what you are suggesting - that is delete from the source
worksheet and then not save the workbook before closing.

Thanks, Dave. I guess the best strategy is to delete the buttons on
the source sheet before copying, as you suggest, and then close the
source sheet's workbook without saving. James

where someworksheetvariable represents your new worksheet.

I'm using VBA to copy a range from a worksheet in one workbook to a
worksheet in another workbook. The range I'm copying from has buttons
that I don't want to copy. Can I copy the range without copying the
buttons? Alternately, can I delete only the buttons in the copied
range when finished copying (to prevent deleting buttons already on the
destination sheet)? The buttons on both sheets were created with the
Forms menu. ExcelXP (2002). I cannot control the properties of the
buttons in the source file. TIA, James
