Not usre where you are getting your Design Mode Button. It could be from a
couple of differrentt places. I normally go to menu View - ToolBars -
Command Control and use the triangle on this toolbar. It is possible that
one of your buttons is corrupted. Try my approach.

I think it should work just like Joel wrote. But I have a problem... My
button seems to be in design mode regardless of the state of the "Design
mode" button. So I cannot get my button working at all. Any ideas why.

The design mode button is a toggle button that either "Enters Design Mode" or
"Exits Design Mode". Once you Exit Design mode DO NOT PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN.
You can see which mode your in by slowly moving the cursor over the button.
If it say Exit Design Mode, then your in Design Mode. Otherwise, it will say
Enter Design Mode.

The buttons will only work when you Exit Design Mode (not in Design Mode).
