Default button on excel cell

hey friends, now that am able to create as many number of buttons and catch
their events accordingly on any cell location in the excel sheet, i am facing
a problem when am trying to delete these buttons.

in my code, i have these statements:

1) a 'search' button to search data and show it.
2) a 'delete' button to delete
(i) the data,
(ii) the search button and
(iii) the delete button itself finally...

and the statements to add buttons a

Shape btn1 = sht.Shapes.AddOLEObject("Forms.CommandButton.1",
Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
sht.get_Range(act, act).Left,
sht.get_Range(act, act).Top,
sht.get_Range(act, act).Width,
((double)sht.get_Range(act, act).
Height) * 2);

OLEObject o1 = (OLEObject)(sht.OLEObjects("CommandButton" + k));

MSForms.CommandButton mbtn_1 = (MSForms.CommandButton)(o1.Object);

mbtn_1.Caption = "search";
mbtn_1.Click += new
MSForms.CommandButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(sear chButton_Click);

and so on...

and to delete these, am saying:

o1.Delete(); //to delete 'search' button
o2.Delete(); //to delete 'delete' button

In the code, "k" is a static int which keeps incrementing with every button
added.

Now, when am trying to delete, it is deleting properly but again if am
trying to add a button, it is resulting in a weird behavour, the controls of
one button are going to another button, the reason for which i assume is the
statement:

OLEObject o1 = (OLEObject)(sht.OLEObjects("CommandButton" + k));

If am trying to change "CommandButton"+k to any other name, my button
doesn't even respond to anything.

What do I do about this? How will i be able to delete and add button as and
when required?

Thanks, in advance
