I'm running the sub routine below to delete all shape objects on an active worksheet. I'd like to modify this route to delete all objects except "shapeButton1" and "shapeOption25". Any suggestions?


Code:
Sub DeletesShapes()
'Delete all Objects except Comments
    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Visible = True
    ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

P.S. I'm using Excel 2010
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Maybe ...

Code:
Sub DeletesShapes()
    Dim o As Object
    

    For Each o In ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects
        If o.Name <> "shapeButton1" And o.Name <> "shapeOption25" Then
            o.Delete
        End If
    Next o
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

EDIT: The comparison is case-sensitive as written.
