Thanks Jim!

I'm a dope!!

I went back and tested again and noticed that I was testing with a Form
command button instead of an ActiveX command button. Everything was working
just fine.

FWIW, there's now a better way to accomplish this in Excel 2007:

Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso("DesignMode")

Thanks again,

josh

Oddly enough, Josh, I don't have either problem. Design mode seems to be
operating just as it did in Excel 2003.
