John, thanks for your response. Setting enabled or locked makes no difference.
I'm trying to create a thumbnail menu system with hover over effects. I
basically have 3 layers. Layer 1 has one state of image. Layer 2 is the label
which is taller and wider then both the images and finally layer 3 the other
state of the image. With a small amount of code I have the effect I want, but
if they click the exposed area of the label it causes the problem I am
experiencing. Does not make sense. Have tried all the obvious things....
properties, focus, zorder etc I thought I would look at the event, expecting
the cancel to be easy. I could look at API's but there must be a way to do it
in excel, surely ?

Thanks Again

Adrian

Have you tried going into properties and setting Enabled=Flase? That might do
it, i'm not sure if it will affect the look of the picture. Mine does not do
what you mentioned unless i misunderstood. xl2003

I have a label on a worksheet (bordering an image placed on top). I want to
be able to cancel the click event. If the label is clicked it seems to bring
itself to the front. I have tried sending back etc , checking got focus...
nothing seems to work. I thought it would be simple, but...

Any help would be appreciated.
