Hello,

I have a very strange problem. I have a workbook with multiple sheets, mostly the months of the year. Each sheet has an active x command button used for printing a blank sheet.
On December sheet, there is a 2nd button (CommandButton_2) which is used to archive the entire workbook and save it to another location as a macrofree workbook.
In order to remove the redundant command buttons (shapes) in the archived wb each sheet is unprotected temporarily using a loop before removal.
After saving the macro-enabled workbook, when I re-open, CommandButton_1 is not No 2 and vice versa.
CommandButton_2 also has it's caption dynamically changing with the year upon each archive.

Has anyone ever seen this strange phenomonon as I can't work out what's going on. If anyone is willing to share any info or experiences I'd be happy to share the code for each button.

Thanks

Who is Mr Spreadsheet?
Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
*It should read, commandbutton1 is now 2 and vice versa. So the archive button now runs the print code and the the print button runs the archive.
When i do archive again, save and close and re-open they swap over again and so on. What could be causing this?

It annoys me as I dont really want to have to use a FormControl button but I may be forced to.
