I have placed a CommandButton on a worksheet from the "Control ToolBox"
tool bar. When I right click on the CommandButtom and select "Properties"
and get the properties Dialog box to appear. I next select "BackColor" , so
I can change the background color of the CommandButton. When I click on the
down arrow in "BackColor" property a small dialog box opens with two tabs.
When I select "Palette" tab I get a blank Tab. I should have 56 colors to
choose from, but they don't appear. Does anyone know what could be causing
this problem. I have also tried other controls from control toolbox and get
the same results when I try to change the background color. I'm using
Excel 2003 with sp2. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Rick
 
Maybe resetting that control toolbox toolbar would help.

Tools|Customize|Toolbars tab
select control toolbox and click reset.
