Hi,
It's more likely that you have to change the code behind the button you click. To let us see what is happening:
1. open the form in design view
2. do a right mouse click on the button and in the context menu that pops up choose the very first entry "Build Event"
3. now it depends on what opens:
a) If it is a window titled "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications" then copy the VBA program code into your next message here.
b) If instead it is a window where a menu item "Macro Design" is highlighted, then post a screenshot of this macro window.
