i would appreciate some help on a button problem i'm having.

i've created a macro button using the 'control toolbox toolbar'. i've also set the button background the same colour as the cell under the button. i've then made the button background transparent. before i 'click' the button the background colour and text show through, which is what i want. after i 'click' the button the backgound is the same colour, which is what i would expect, but the text no longer shows through which tells me the button is no longer transparent. how can i make the button remain transparent during and after i 'click' it?

i am willing to do it with the control toolbox properties or through vba, whichever works.

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
its okay, i've been able to solve the problem. in the vba code for the button 'click' i had to select another cell away from the cell overlaid by the button. this allowed the cell contents below the button to show through.
