    changing text of a button

    Hi, how can I automatically change the text property of a shape?

    Here's the scenario,
    I have a rectangle that functions as a button. When the button is clicked, the text will be transferred from a variable.

    I don't know how to do this since the macros is not really a property of the object. In VB, the code is
    btn1.text = variable
    how do i do this in VBA?

    So you're saying - you have a Macro assigned to the Shape which when run should modify the caption on the Shape itself ?

    If so, perhaps you want something like:

    where Rectangle1_Click is the Macro assigned to the Shape itself.

    Oh nevermind. found it thanks :D

    Edit: uhm can't get it to work properly. When I run the triggering button, all functions assigned except this text change function works. but when i try to run from the code window, the code works properly. the triggering button is on another sheet. this is my code
