I have a "regular" command button which was originally created in Excel 2000.
I can copy this button to a new Excel 2007 document. When I do that, I can
right click on the button and I get the option to "Assign Macro". This works
very well. In Excel 2007, it seems that the only command button I can add is
an Active X control and this does not give me the right click behavior that I
have with the other button. Is there a way in 2007 to add a command button
which gives me the right click "Assign Macro" option? Thanks for any help on
this.

DeveloperInsert.............you get two options.

Forms Controls or Activex Controls.

Add a button from the Forms controls, not the Activex controls.

If you not see the Developer tab (not on by default) do this
To display the Developer tab go to Office Button Excel Options...Popular
and check "show developer tab............................"

Gord : Do you like 2007 ????? after using it for a few weeks now

Not working with it much yet but don't mind the Ribbon and other new
features that many find difficult or downright repugnant.

Not nearly as bad as I thought, considering the amount of negative input I
have seen since it was introduced.

But note the "not working with it much yet"<g
