The problem of form buttons is that you cannot control many things such as
background color.

If you use a Forms button rather than a Controls button:

Sub WhoGotClicked()
MsgBox (Selection.Name)
End Sub

will tell you which Shape got clicked.

Hello,
On a sheet, I have two shapes (say two Ovals) and an ActiveX button. Let's
select one of the two shapes. I want to know when I click on the button, what
shape was selected before the button got activated. I could not find an
answer after searching for a while as there no event such as beforeclick.
Thanks in advance for any help,
MrT
