I have created a custom shape on my sheet to use as a template. In the code I
use the following to copy the shape and rename it:

'Copy bar
oColorBar.Copy

'Paste to Cell
Me.Paste Destination:=rColorCell

'Rename
Me.Shapes(Me.Shapes.Count).name = cTPM & "_" & rCell.Row

Now this works fine in Excel 2003 or before. I tested this in Excel 2007 and
this fails, as it seems the shapes collection is now sorted and the new shape
is not necessarilty added to the bottom of the collection. So I still want to
copy my tempalte shape to the sheet and get a handle on it, but I don't know
it's index in the shapes collection, and it's name is some default name with
a number after it.

I essentially want to do a set myShape = Shapes.add(customShape). Any ideas?
