Edit text of shape without selecting it
Hi,
I've got the following which edits the text on a shape; ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 12988").Select Selection.Characters.Text = "More Info" I assumed ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 12988").Characters.Text = "More Info" would do the same thing, but it gives me an error. How do edit the text without selecting the shape?? Thanks Tony |

Try it this way activesheet.shapes("Button 12988").OleFormat.Object.Caption="More Info" -- Hope that helps.
