Deleting all shapes (except 2 rectangles that have macros assigned)

I have written a macro to draw many on shapes on a sheet, plus another to delete the shapes.

I have then assigned the macros to two button on the worksheet but unfortunately my macro to delete the shapes also deletes the macro buttons.

Does anybody have any suggestions?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Hi, maybe you can test if the shape has a macro assigned and only delete if it doesn't - something like..
Code:
Sub delete_shapes()
Dim shp As Shape
For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    If shp.OnAction = "" Then shp.Delete
Next shp
End Sub

Brilliant - thank you.

That worked perfectly.

I had been trying to Select All and then deselect the 2 with macro's so this is great.

Thanks again
