Hi All,

I want to delete a textbox (the kind you would insert from the Drawing toolbar) using VBA. I found some code that kind of worked, it deleted the textbox but unfortunately it also deleted all the macro buttons I had on the same worksheet. Can someone suggest how I might change this code to only erase textboxes (remove them, not delete the text from within them). I won't know the name of the textbox ahead of time.

Thanks

Code:
For i = ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count To 1 Step -1
     ActiveSheet.Shapes(i).Delete
Next i

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
