Referencing a Forms Button in a Worksheet
 

Thanks for the reply Dave. I realize "-" are not allowed, but it did NOT
throw an error when I assigned a name to the forms button on the worksheet,
weird huh? This what I did.

I drew the forms button on the worksheet, didn't assign a macro, but made
sure the button was still selected. Then I put Selection.Name = "Edit
Add-In" in the Immediate Window and bang, it worked! Why? I think I missing
something here.

I'd guess that names that contain the hyphens are illegal. (Not really going
out on a limb for that, huh?)

If CBool(aryUserInfo(1, 6)) Then
.Font.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic 'black

First, it's .enabled (with a D)

Second, change the name of the button by replacing the dash with an underscore.
(don't forget to fix the code, too.)

Then try it.

Buttons property of the Worksheets class". Any ideas? Thanks in Advance!

I don't have an answer for that. To me, it appears to be a bug.

When you find something like this, should I notify Microsoft or let it be?

It's up to you. I'm sure there's a link somewhere on their site to report
problems. Somewhere.
