Here is my code to create a clickable button.


ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Link:=False _
, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=96.7, Top:=341.25, Width:=100, Height:= _
55).Select
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.Caption = "YES"
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.BackColor = &HFF0000
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.ForeColor = 49152
With Selection
.Name = "YES"
.Object.Caption = "YES"
End With


Now when I go to attach a macro to the button this is what I get.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


End Sub

What Im wondering is, is it possible to change the "CommandButton1" to "YesButton?
The problem I'm having is the "YES" button may not be the first button I add so I would like to have a set name for it.
Thank you

This works here :

Code:
Option Explicit


Sub YesBtn()
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Link:=False _
, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=96.7, Top:=[COLOR=#333333]341.25[/COLOR], Width:=100, Height:= _
55).Select


ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.Caption = "YES"
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.BackColor = &HFF0000
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.ForeColor = 49152
    With Selection
        .Name = "YES"
        .Object.Caption = "YES"
    End With
End Sub

That does not work, cause when you click on design mode and double click to add a macro it comes up as:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()


End Sub

so its still called CommandButton1

Are you placing the CommandButton on a worksheet or on a Userform ?

If it is the first button you have placed on the worksheet, it will automatically be named " Button 1 " .

You can create a macro in a routine module like so :

Code:
Option Explicit


Sub btnYes()


ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Link:=False _
, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=96.7, Top:=341.25, Width:=100, Height:= _
55).Select


ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.Caption = "YES"
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.BackColor = &HFF0000
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1).Object.ForeColor = 49152
    With Selection
        .Name = "YES"
        .Object.Caption = "YES"
    End With
End Sub

The name of the macro (here it is btnYes) can be anything you want:

Sub ThisIsMyCommandButtonYes()
'macro code
End Sub

Sub HeyButtonYes()
'macro code
End Sub

etc.

etc.

Once you have created your macro, go back to the worksheet, RIGHT CLICK the command button and select ASSIGN MACRO. A small form will appear with a list of available macros. Simply select the macro name yo want
and click OK.

Now the command button is attached to that macro. Clicking the button activates the macro.

Well It still does not work, the only way I know how to change the name is to right click/ properties/ then change (name) on the top.
