I don't think that what I am proposing to do is possible, but it is worth
a shot (and will make my boss happy which is always a good thing). I want
to be able to set a condition for the visibility of a command button. I
want the button hidden unless there is a certain file in a certian drive. I
have yet to be given the specifics on what the file will be and where it wil
be, so for now I will call the file "test.doc" and the location
"G:\Assets\". When "test.doc" is in "G:\Assets\" I want CommandButton1 on
Sheet1 to be visible. When "test.doc" is NOT in "G:\Assets\" I want
CommandButton1 to NOT be visible.

Thanks for your help!
