Hi Steve

You can try

Sub Shapes2()
'Loop through the Shapes collection and use the Type number of the control
Dim myshape As Shape
For Each myshape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If myshape.Type = 13 Then myshape.Delete
Next myshape
End Sub

Thanks guys,

I went to your link, and I undesrtood the F5-Special-Objects-OK-delete, so I
tried that, and it worked great. However, I also had some macro buttons on
the worksheet that also were deleted ( objects.select). Here's the macro:

Sheets("test").Select
ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Select
Selection.Delete

There probably is info on your link that will delete all objects but my
macro buttons, but I can't figure it out.

Thnaks again,

Steve

I recorded a macro to delete 3 pictures that are copied onto my spreadsheet
every week. However, when I run the macro, I get a run time error stating
"item with the specified name not found". Looking at the macro, it indicates
shapes ( picture 1), shapes ( picture 2), etc.

Is there a fix for this ?

Thanks,

Steve
