Can't get into design mode in Excel 2007
What gives here. I have the developer ribbon showing. Macros are
_definitely_ enabled. When i click the Deisgn Mode button on the developer ribbon, basically, nothing happens. In either state (pressed or not) for that button on the developer ribbon, when i use the mouse and press any macro button that is on a sheet in the workbook, the macro runs. I can't get to the point where i can select a button, edit its properties, have it selected to "show code", etc. Help!! How do i get into design mode in Excel 2007?? Tried quitting/restart Excel, no luck there. Thanks, tom |

Are you sure you have a ActiveX button on your sheet and not a Forms button ?

Can't get into design mode in Excel 2007
Oh, i see, its a forms button. I got it there from the insert menu in the
same developer ribbon, but indeed, there are two separate sets of buttons. I hadn't noticed (still getting used to 2007) Thanks very much!!!! Its amazing how such a little thing can become a real block, and somebody slightly stepped away from the problem can solve it! BUT ----- Can i place an active X button on a chart? From the Insert dropdown of Developer ribbon, the Acitve X controls are all grayed out if i'm on a chart, but they are available on a worksheet. So, when on a chart, only the Forms controls are available to place on the chart. Workaround??? Thanks again! Tom "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...

Hi,
No work around. Charts and chartobjects can not contain active-x controls. This is true for all xl versions.
