Default Macro Error that I connot figure out

I am trying to teach myself VBA using Step by Step by Reed Jacobson.
There is a chapter on graphical objects, and in one macro he shows how to
set up an "active map" forma generic state map
Here is the macro:
Sub MakeMapButtons()
Dim s As Shape
myNumber = 3
myName = "oregon"
myCaption = "OR"
myColor = 9
Set s = ActiveSheet.Shapes(1).GroupItems(myNumber)
's.Select
s.Name = myName
s.Fill.ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = myColor
s.ThreeD.BevelTopDepth = 6
s.TextFrame2.TextRange = myCaption
s.TextFrame2.HorizontalAnchor = msoAnchorCenter
s.TextFrame2.VerticalAnchor = msoAnchorMiddle
s.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Size = 20
s.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Bold = msoTrue
s.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Fill.ForeColor.ObjectT hemeColor =
msoThemeColorLight1
s.Fill.OneColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, 1, 0
s.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font.Reflection.Type = msoReflectionType5
s.Parent.Parent.Ungroup
s.OnAction = ThisWorkbook.Name & "!StateButton"
s.DrawingObject.ShapeRange.Regroup

Everything works fine until the third line from the bottom:
s.Parent.Parent.Ungroup

I get an error message saying that the object does not support this property.
I copied this program from his answer file and pasted it directly into the
macro shell, so I know that I did not make a typing error, but it still hangs
up.

Any thoughts?
