VBA Help with changing shape color for selected shapes only
I'm in need of help. I have an Excel sheet that has some rectangle shapes.
I want to add some command buttons to change the color of these rectangles, but I only want those shapes I select to be changed. Here is a "Reset" command button code I use to turn all my shapes Red: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ActiveSheet.Shapes.SelectAll Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 10 Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Visible = msoTrue Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Solid Range("A1").Select End Sub Now I know how to change a single shape that I specify: ActiveSheet.Shapes("Rectangle 1").Select But how do I change only the ones I currently have selected? And is there a better way to unselect (deselect) rather than using Range("A1").Select? Thanks in advance, Scott |

VBA Help with changing shape color for selected shapes only
I get a runtime error "438". Here is how I have it:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() With Selection .ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 12 End With Range("A1").Select End Sub The runtime error '438' "Object doesn't support this property or method". The debugger highlights the line ".shaperange.fill.forecolor.....".

VBA Help with changing shape color for selected shapes only
Did you select the shapes first?

Yes sir. I have two shapes (both rectangles) and I tried to select either
as well as both, and I get the same error. Any other ideas? Thanks again for your assistance! Scott "Don Guillett" wrote in message ...

Change the takefocusonclick property of your commandbutton to false.
Then it should work. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Nimrod" wrote in message ... Yes sir. I have two shapes (both rectangles) and I tried to select either as well as both, and I get the same error.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
On Error Resume Next With Selection .ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 8 End With On Error goto 0 Range("A1").Select End SuB -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Nimrod" wrote in message ... Thanks Tom, and Don. The changing of "takefocusonclick" solved the problem. I have one more problem maybe one of you two can assist with. The code works great: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() With Selection .ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = 8 End With Range("A1").Select End Sub But with no shape selected I get that 438 Runtime Error. What VBA code can I use to prevent (Stop) the code thus preventing the error. Thanks again.

VBA Help with changing shape color for selected shapes only
I'm thankful for all the help I've received. The error trapping for Excel
VBA is the same as Access (hangs head low in shame). Thanks again! "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...
