verifying an object exists

[JT]

I have a macro with two rectangles that I use as
pushbuttons on a worksheet. Each one has a unique macro
assigned to it.

Macro # 2 makes a copy of the activeworkbook and deletes
the rectangle assigned to Macro # 2 (on the saved copy).
I don't want users to have the option of making another
copy from the "saved" copy.

No problem, so far. However when I open the "saved" copy,
Macro # 1 is used to make a copy of the data and send as
an e-mail attachment. It also deletes the 2 rectangles.

However, if I try to run Macro # 1 (from the "saved" copy,
I get an error because it is trying to delete the second
rectangle (which has already been deleted when the
workbook is copied.)

If Macro # 1 is run from the original workbook, no problem
because both rectangles still exist.

Any suggestions on code to verify the existance of
rectangle 2 would be appreciated.

As always, thanks for the help.

You could just wrap the delete command in an on error resume next.

On Error Resume Next
'delete the shape
On Error Goto 0
