I just created using the Forms Toolbar a Command Button
assigning a Macro to it; Unfortunately It shows "Button 14"
without the quotes.. When I right-click on the button I'd
expect a short-cut menu to come up with Format, etc. but
nothing happens. be able to alter it. How can I change the
caption?
TIA,
Jim

Jim,

Select the button by right-clicking it (it will be surrounded by a grey
hatching), then use the mouse to select the button text, and over-type it.

Bob:
When I right-click on the button nothing happens;
When I move the mouse over the button the Hand-in-Glove
appears (and the macro runs if I left-click on it). Now I
just want to delete the button and create a new button for
the same macro and this time rename it before exiting out.
Tks,
Jim

.

if this button is on a spreadsheet (rather than a userform), first click on
the 'design mode' button (turqoise set-square image on my pc), then you can
left-click to select or right-click to bring up the short-cut menu - make
sure you turn deisgn mode off again, to be able to click on it and make it
work.

i think you must've created it from the 'control toolbox' toolbar rather
than the 'forms' toolbar?

Hold down the Ctrl key while Left clicking the button. Then just start
typing to change the caption. or click your delete key to delete it.
