Whenever a Command button (or other OLE object) with backstyle set to 'transparent' is clicked it immediately becomes opaque. I've been getting around this problem by setting the button visibility to false and then true in the mousedown handler which does return it to a transparent state, but also prevents activation of the mouseup handler. Any ideas how to keep the button transparent (re-applying backstyle doesn't work)??

Couple of things to try :-
1. First line of click code (to remove button focus)
Activesheet.Range("A1").Select
2. Do you have the property option to take focus on mouse click ?
If so set to False.

No luck Brian, but thanks for trying. I assume it's a Microsoft Bug, and that very few people use transparent buttons.
