Question

I have various shapes on my excel 07 worksheet which are identical (same name, same function linked to it).

I need to know which of these is pressed (TopLeft Row/Column). Application.Caller correctly identifies the name, but since there are multiple instances of it I am then unable to identify which one it pressed.

Since I am copying the shapes numerous times would prefer for them to be all called the same.

Answer 1

Based on comments by Tim Williams above, renaming all shapes uniquely can be done by

  Dim sh As Shape
  For Each sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
       sh.Name = "Button_" & sh.ID
  Next sh

and then Application.Caller works fine. This solution may not look good for some applications, but it works.
