edit the text on a command button. I know I've done it before, but for
the life of me I can't figure it out and googling my problem dosen't
help either. So can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanx :)

Hi SCOTTF,

Can't you right click on it, then edit text?

Ask a simple question - as they say.

How about Protection?

sheet is not protected. i can create the button...assign the macro to
it clicking the button executes the macro perfectly...but i CAN NOT
change the text in the button.... it says "CommandButton1". I want it
to say "Generate Next PO".

other people may need to use this spreadsheet... they'll need to know
the function of the button....thanx for taking the time to help me plow
thru this!

:cool:

I think I have found it.

Rightclick on button> go to prioridades (sorry, I have the Spanish
Excel)> put your name under "Caption" and you have named the button.

Regards,
Bob
