Please help explain this apparent mystery:
If I record a macro using View->Toolbars->Control Toolbox->Command Button, I get a commandbutton whose right-click menu (under Design Mode) shows me a Properties option and at the bottom a Format Control option, and I get the code below. So far so good; that's what I want.
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1",
Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=314, Top:=293, Width:=72,
Height:=24).Select
However, if I execute this newly created macro, I get a commandbutton whose right-click menu doesn't contain a Properties Option and at the bottom a Format Object option). A different animal. Why? why? why?
