a strange button state
the button become disable
is it truly disabled? absolutely does nothing when you click it? or is it just not in focus? if it's truly disabled, there must be something in an auto-open sub that's changing the status. or a before-close sub that resets it before you even get out of the workbook. hth susan On May 23, 8:12 am, clara wrote: Hi all, I have a button(ActiveX control) on a worksheet, before I save the workbook, I set the button's Enabled to true and I save and close the workbook. Next time, when I open the workbook, the button become disable but the property Enabled is still true. Why. Clara -- thank you so much for your help |

a strange button state
Hi Susan,
First I save the workbook and after that the button is ok then I close the workbook and when I open it again, the button appears disabled it does nothing when I click it the strange thing is its Enabled property is still true. I use a Stop statement in the open event of the workbook, and add the button's Enabled change in the Watch. If the code in Open event change the property, the execution will enter the debug mode, but nothing happen. This programm is other person's work, I am just adding new features, so I can not understand what happens here.

If it is from the control toolbox toolbar, perhaps you are in design mode.
You can switch this off by using the upper left control in the control toolbox toolbar. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "clara" wrote: Hi Susan, First I save the workbook and after that the button is ok then I close the workbook and when I open it again, the button appears disabled it does nothing when I click it the strange thing is its Enabled property is still true.

Another possibility is that you haven't put commands in the click event. Has
it worked in the past? -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "clara" wrote: Hi Susan, First I save the workbook and after that the button is ok then I close the workbook and when I open it again, the button appears disabled it does nothing when I click it the strange thing is its Enabled property is still true.

a strange button state
Hi Tom,
It worked before and I think your first guess is correct because the same problem happens to other buttons, but after some setting and switching to and from design mode, it works.Could you elaborate a little about your solution again?

for controls from the control toolbox toolbar, you can put the sheet in
design mode so you can address their properties and work with their event code. You take the sheet out of design mode to actually have the control function (execute the code when clicked). The design mode control is in the control toolbox toolbar in the upper left corner (usually) - it has a drawing triangle on it. when in design mode, it appears depressed. When not in design mode, it looks normal. (this is when the control toolbox toolbar is visible). Sometimes when in design mode, a floating toolbar will appear with this control -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "clara" wrote: Hi Tom, It worked before and I think your first guess is correct because the same problem happens to other buttons, but after some setting and switching to and from design mode, it works.Could you elaborate a little about your solution again?

Well, that the problem. You need to be NOT in Design Mode for this control
to function. NickHK "clara" wrote in message ... Hi Tom, It is in Design mode I am sure.
