Hi,
I've created a sheet that when data is posted the Active X buttons, when pressed, will do 1 on the following 3 actions
1 Clear Data - Clear all data from worksheet
2. Tidy Up - rearranges data in to a table
3. Create Email - Copies the data in the table and inserts it in to an email

The strange thing is that once I've used 1 of the 3 buttons they no longer work.
All that happens is that the button being pressed replicates itself for the duration of the button press.
I'm not in developer mode
I can't lock the worksheet or the buttons don't work

Where am I going wrong?
Here's my code
Thanks
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Cells.Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
    Range("A1").Select

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
I found a similar post that said ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add was causing the issue, but I don't have that line of code

Do you have a particular reason for using ActiveX buttons rather than Form ones, or shapes? It's best to avoid activex if possible.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried Form Buttons but, despite having them marked as "Do not move or size with cells" they still move.
I was about to try assigning a macro to a hyperlink to see if that works.

Rather than deleting every cell on the worksheet, I'd suggest you just clear them:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Usedrange.Clear
    Range("A1").Select
 
End Sub

Thanks,
I'll update the code
