I have an Excel VBA program I wrote 3 years ago that interfaces to Oracle through OO4O. It has worked great since. In the last few days, when I open the spreadsheet, all the buttons appear as 8 tiny circles (in dev mode) and in executable mode they are just invisible. I can make them visible by clicking the edge of the button, but then they disappear again when I click elsewhere in the spreadsheet. The buttons are there, I just can see them - I can even click them and the VBA programing behind the buttons still work fine. Now, here is the kicker, I know it is something in my Windows 7 Profile that is causing it because when I have someone else log into my pc under a different profile and open the spreadsheet, the buttons appear fine.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what did you do to correct it. I know I could just erase my profile and start from scratch, but I have a pretty involved profile and would like to avoid that if I could. Thanks to any of you Excel experts that can help point me to a solution.
