I created CommandButton1 using Control Toolbox and I set its property to Enabled = True. Is there a (simple) way to swap between Enable/Disable from macro?
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p> </o:p>
The line
<o:p> </o:p>
ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton1").Enabled = False
<o:p> </o:p>
generates an error (Object doesn't support this property or method) contrary to
<o:p> </o:p>
ActiveSheet.Shapes("CommandButton1").Visible= False
<o:p> </o:p>
that works perfectly.

Which CommandButton properties can and which cannot be (simply) altered from within macro? I was unable to find anything in Excel VBA help.
<o:p> </o:p>
Thanks,
<o:p> </o:p>

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Switches back and forth between enabled and not


Code:
Private Sub worksheet_activate()
    If CommandButton1.Enabled Then
        CommandButton1.Enabled = False
    Else
        CommandButton1.Enabled = True
    End If
End Sub

Bingo! Well, actually ActiveSheet.CommandButton1.Enabled= False (True) works like a charm. Thanks a lot.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
