I have a sheet where the user enters a value for a variable and a number of
buttons based off that variable amount are added to the sheet. Then if they
change the number the sheet deletes the existing buttons and adds new ones to
match the number.

I notice that the automatic numbering is always increasing, so I'm up to
Button 889 now. I want to know if this will cause a problem, where I hit a
max button number or anything else. I know after creating numerous sheets in
excel the number resets when you close excel and open it again (Book1, book30
etc). I don't want to hit button 5000 and find out that memory is being used
for each of the previous buttons or that this is the max button count and the
sheet becomes useless. Thanks.

Suggestion. As a part of your macro to delete the buttons, rename them at
the same time.
ie:
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(375.75, 136.5, 72, 72).Select
Selection.Name = "temp"
