Customizing userforms on button clicks
Me.Name will actually return the userform's caption.
The best I can do for you is that you could pass it as an MSForms
button, then query the caption. You'll still need to assign the
specific CommandButton object at the beginning of each button though:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call CheckButton(Me.CommandButton1)
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Call CheckButton(Me.CommandButton2)
End Sub
Private Sub CheckButton(cButton As msforms.CommandButton)
MsgBox "You clicked " & cButton.Caption
End Sub

Well, here's one way.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call ChangeCaption("CommandButton1")
End Sub
Private Sub ChangeCaption(sCaptionName As String)
Select Case sCaptionName
Case Is = "CommandButton1"
Me.Caption = "MyCustomTitle"
Case Else
Me.Caption = "Something else"
End Select
End Sub
The only benefit that I can see to doing this, though, is to have a
place to centrally manage the naming. It's actually more code than just
changing it in the Button_Click event.

Actually centralizing the coding is important, as I may need to add
additional functions later.
I actually came up with an approach similar to the one suggested but
using string parsing.
Is there away to refer to the title of each button in a uniform manner?
E.g.
buttonTitle = me.name
I tried the above but it seemed to be extracting the name of the sheet.
If there was a way generic way to extract the caption or name field
from the list of properties (as opposed to writing CommandButton1 etc),
I could simply pass a generic reference - extract some data and use
that to manipulate the title.
