Change macro button text when macro is invoked.

[Tonso]

In xl2007, I created a simple macro to hide or unhide columns [Columns("H:L").EntireColumn.Hidden = Not Columns("H:L").EntireColumn.Hidden]. I inserted a "Button - Form Control" to invoke it. It works fine. The text on the button is "Show Rate". I was wondering if there was a way to make the text change, depending on the state of the columns, so if they were hidden, the button text would read "Show Rate", and if the were unhidden, the button text would read "Hide Rate. As i said, the macro works fine...I was just wondering if this was possible, and if so, how?

Thanks,

Tonso

do it with an activeX button:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Columns("H:L").EntireColumn.Hidden = _
Not Columns("H:L").EntireColumn.Hidden
CommandButton1.Caption = IIf(Columns("H:L").EntireColumn.Hidden, _
"Show Rate", "Hide Rate")
End Sub
