As part of a routine I create a button to perform an advance filter.

Code:
With Sheets("Data").Buttons.Add(300, 0, 100, 25)
    .OnAction = "PO_Filterinplace"
    .Characters.Text = "View Supplier"
End With

Rather than having a separate clear filter button I would like to change this button when the filter is active

Code:
    .OnAction = "Clear_Filter"
    .Characters.Text = "Clear Filter"

However I am not sure how to interact with this specific button after the initial ".add".

I'm guessing there must be a way of naming the button, but am not sure of the syntax.

Appreciate any support you can offer.

Thanks

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Just worked it out...

Code:
With Sheets("Data").Buttons.Add(300, 0, 100, 25)
    .Name = "PO_Filterinplace"
    .OnAction = "PO_Filterinplace"
    .Characters.Text = "View Supplier"
End With

Code:
With Sheets("Data").Buttons("PO_Filterinplace")
    .OnAction = "Clear_Filter"
    .Characters.Text = "Clear Filter"
End With

Code:
Sub Clear_Filter()
Sheets("Data").ShowAllData
With Sheets("Data").Buttons("PO_Filterinplace")
    .OnAction = "PO_Filterinplace"
    .Characters.Text = "View Supplier"
End With
End Sub


I was attempting With Sheets("Data").Buttons.name("PO_Filterinplace") which didn't work
