Hide button from Template

[Guest]

I have a macro linked to a command button on an excel template. I'd like to
have the button hidden (or deleted) on the new spreadsheet the user will save
to another name.

Not sure when you want the button deleted, but one way to delete it is:

Worksheets("sheet1").OLEObjects("CommandButton1").Delete

Chip Pearson has some instructions on how to remove code (or add code) on the
fly.

Have you thought of removing the code (and button) from your template and using
another workbook for the code (maybe even a nice toolbar floating over your
workbook).
