I've read all of the posts here - questions and answers - about changing the
color of a macro activation button (command button), but none of them seem to
apply to Excel 2007. I don't have a control toolbox, I have a developer tab
with a controls group. Using this I can create/insert a command button and
assign it to a macro. This causes no problem. I have a need, however, to
change the color of several buttons to make some of them more prominent. I
can find no properties for BackColor of the command button. In spite of what
has been posted here, I CAN change the color of a button I place in a user
form - via the BackColor property, but I CANNOT find a similar property for
the command buttons I've created. Is this by chance one of those features
that has been changed/eliminated/enhanced by Microsoft between Excel 2003 and
Excel 2007? If I create a command button in 2003, I can find the field that
will edit the color of the button. If, however, I try to open my 2007 file
in 2003, I no longer have a backcolor property to edit. I'd really like to be
able to change the color of some of these buttons. I currently have two
buttons - both uninspiring gray - but my boss has asked to have 16 more
buttons created in this sheet. You can see the need for making the primary
buttons stand out. Can anyone help me with this in Excel 2007?
