Not that I know. (While in the VBE, I hit F2 to bring up the object browser and
only found one Release and that was ReleaseFocus.)

Glad you got it working, but I don't think I'd live with Sort as the name. That
is a method name (like range("a1:b99").sort...

Is "Release" a restriced name in Excel? I changed the macro name to Sort and
again in the Click Event from Release to Sort, and it is working now. That's
all I think I did. I've been playing with it too long.

If it breaks in xl97, try adding:

activecell.activate

at the top of the code.

Or you can change the .Takefocusonclick to false for that commandbutton.

Excel 2000 (or 97)
Although it's been a while, I have done this, but I cannot get it work now.
I created a macro by using the macro recorder. I gave it the name Release. I
then created a command button on the worksheet. The name of button is
btnRelease. In design view, I selected the button and clicked ViewCode. That
gave me the click event:
Private Sub btnRelease_Click(). Between that and End Sub, I wrote "Release"
(no quotation marks). I thought that would reference the macro and run it. I
get the message "Function or interface marked as restriced, or function uses
Automation type not supported in Visual Basic.
Am I missing a step?
I'll appreciate the help,
