Command button "selected"

[pgarcia]

When you click on a command button, it seem to be selected always and when a
user does not know that and they click the enter button, it runs the macro
again. How do de-select the command button once it's clicked?

Thanks

Disable it within the assigned macro

ActiveSheet.Buttons(Application.Caller).Enabled = False

Are these commandbuttons on a worksheet?

Are you using xl97?

If you are, then change the .takefocusonclick property to false. This was fixed
in xl2k.

If you ever use a control that doesn't have that property, you could also add a
line to the code:

activecell.activate

(It'll work with the commandbutton, too.)

Oh, the command button takes you to another tab/sheet, so that did not work.

Great, that did the trick.
