Can't see the properties for a button???
Using Excel 2003. I have adopted someone else spreadsheet. I am not
an excel expert. When I right click a button on the spreadsheet while in "Design Mode" I can not see "Properties" or "View Code" options for the button. I don't see where any "Protection" has been put in place for the spreadsheet. I added my own button to the spreadsheet and I can see the "Properies" and "View Code" options when I right click the button I create. Any help appreciated. Like I said I am not an expert, just someone who got stuck with a project. thanks ray |

Hi,
It may be a button from the Control toolbox instead of the Forms one you previously used. Try View|Toolbars - Control Toolbox Click the leftmost icon on the toolbar to enter design mode.

The button is probably from the Forms Toolbar. It has limitation on the
properties that can be adjusted. the one you added probably came from the Control Toolbox which is much more liberal in the properties adjustment area. The code for the Forms Toolbar button usually resides in a public module like Module1, while the Tool Box button will have its code in the host code module, either the Worksheet or Userform.

The buttons were created from the FORMS Toolbar and a Macro assigned to it. Once again thanks for the help. I was going crazy Ray |
