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. -- Cheers, Ryan "Dave Peterson" wrote: Did you mean "why did it throw an error with the "-" in the name?" I'd guess that names that contain the hyphens are illegal. (Not really going out on a limb for that, huh?) Ryan H wrote: Oops, sorry for the misspelling. I didn't cut and paste my code like I should have. I changed the name of the button to cmbEditAddIn and this code works great! Why didn't it throw an error with the "-" in the name?

Referencing a Forms Button in a Worksheet
I don't have an answer for that. To me, it appears to be a bug.

Referencing a Forms Button in a Worksheet
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. Ryan H wrote: When you find something like this, should I notify Microsoft or let it be? -- Cheers, Ryan "Dave Peterson" wrote: I don't have an answer for that.
