Command Button Invisible
 

I have a spreadsheet of names that need to be sorted ONLY between the dates of January 1 and January 15 each year. I have a command button with a macro to do that and it works fine. I want the Command Button to become invisible (and also disabled) for the remainder of the year, then become visible and enabled January 1 the next year. Is this possible? I have no idea how to approach this task. Thanks in advance.

Yes/Yes if it's an ActiveX button from the Controls Toolbox. Yes/No if
it's a button from the Forms controls as these don't have an Enabled
property...

With ActiveSheet.CommandButton1
.Visible = False: .Enabled = False
End With 'ActiveSheet.CommandButton1

...though if you hide it I don't see why you need to disable it!

ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 1").Visible = False
