BackColor & Forecolor
Folks,
In my workbook I have over 325 worksheets. Each worksheet has multiple command buttons. For every command button, without exceeption, can be modified except the BackColor and Forecolor properties, regardless. When I select to change a color the property acts like nothing has happened.
All command buttons are ActiveX type. A few of the worksheets are protected and the workbook is not protected.
Maybe it is my machine, but I have attached a copy of this large workbook

It works for me at home also. Must be something at work.
I normally leave a workbook unprotected and I simply forgot this time.
I apologize to all Experts

I'm a bit late but just in case it helps here's a routine you can use. (I haven't looked at Harry's code)
Sub ColorEm()
Dim shp As Shape
For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(shp.Name).Object.BackColor = vbRed
Next
End SubASKER
Martin,
Thanks for looking into this. Apparently it is something with the notebook I use at work. Everything works fine here at home.
I again apologize for not un-protecting some of my sheets. I am so grateful to all Experts and try not to make things more difficult than htey are.
Have a great day!
