Default Macro to insert command buttons

I have posted this before and I am still having problems. I have researched
myself and cannot come up with anything.

I have a macro that will create 26 commandbuttons on the active sheet. I
get one button created with caption "CommandButton4". I also get Run-time
Error 424: Object required.

I cannot figure it out. The "Activesheet" line matches everything I have
researched.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim h, w, t, l As Long 'h=height, w=width, t=top, l=left
Dim k As Integer
h = 21
w = 91.5
l = 50
t = 92
For k = 1 To 26
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Comma ndButton.1", Left:=l,
Top:=t, Width:=w, Height:=h).Select
OLEObject.Caption = "Button " & k
OLEObject.Name = "Week " & k
t = t + 38
If k = 7 Or k = 14 Or k = 20 Then
l = l + 145
t = 92
End If
Next k
End Sub

The code is suppose to create 26 buttons equal in size and space them,
aligning then equally apart vertically and horizontally.

Much appreciation for anyone helping with this!!!!

Default Macro to insert command buttons

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim h As Double
Dim w As Double
Dim t As Double
Dim l As Long 'h=height, w=width, t=top, l=left
Dim k As Long
Dim OLEObj As OLEObject
h = 21
w = 91.5
l = 50
t = 92
For k = 1 To 26
Set OLEObj = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add _
(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", _
Left:=l, Top:=t, Width:=w, Height:=h)

OLEObj.Object.Caption = "Button " & k
OLEObj.Name = "Week " & k

t = t + 38
If k = 7 Or k = 14 Or k = 20 Then
l = l + 145
t = 92
End If
Next k
End Sub

Personally, I find plopping the buttons over cells a little easier to layout.

Default Macro to insert command buttons

Just to add, might be an idea to change

OLEObj.Name = "Week " & k


to
OLEObj.Name = "Week_" & k

IOW, avoid naming ActiveX controls with spaces or punctuation.

I don't like spaces in my names, either.

In fact, I'd use:

OLEObj.Name = "Week_" & format(k,"00")

So that they would all look the same (kind of).

Ah, but type of name is not just a matter of preference with ActiveX
controls !
