ActiveX buttons unresponsive or having to be clicked twice to run macro
Hello, community! I inherited two Excel files that come with a bunch of ActiveX buttons. In some cases the buttons don't do anything: I click them, it shows kind of a duplicate image of the button ...
Hi Celia,
I've just started having this issue - on my old laptop it was only one click to make the buttons work, but now on Windows 10 it takes a double-click to make them work? So strange, never seen this before.
Just wondering if you ended up finding the issue?
Cheers

- Hi, _Ness_.
Unfortunately, I did not find the cause or a solution.
If I remember, I think that in one of the cases, deleting the button and creating a new one, helped. I am not sure if I replaced it with an active x button or one of the other button types.oi tudo bem Celia_Alves I have this issue too. I don't think it's W10 per-se as they were fine until recently - so it's something to do with a recent update I would say. I did look at replacing them with ordinary buttons but there was some disadvantage to that - which I can't recall right now. I'll try the "delete and replace with new" approach to see if that works, though, even if it does, it's hardly satisfactory. I don't recall a recent update coming with a disclaimer from MS saying that activeX macro buttons may not work (properly) anymore (mind you I expect what the small print actually says is that if their update causes Armageddon it's still not their fault!).
- I never really understood what caused this issue. Vid kuch abd let us know how it goes.
