Macros - ActiveX command button
Hi, I am seeking help on how to get rid of an ActiveX command button that I put in a worksheet and somehow I messed it up as I was trying to give it a label. Now, it will not let me do anything within the worksheet. I cannot delete the button, or even get out of the worksheet. Is there a way to get rid of this? Every time I click anywhere within the worksheet a box pops up and says "Reference isn't valid."

On the Developer tab of the ribbon, in the Controls group, click to highlight Design Mode.
Can you now select the button and delete it?

Hi,
When I am on the Developer Tab, none of the buttons are enabled. I cannot select any of them as they are all greyed out. I keep getting one of two different messages when I try to close the worksheet or click on anything, I either get "Reference isn't valid" or "Cannot Close Microsoft". I am new to doing this type of stuff on Excel as it is for a college program. I thank you for any and all help that you can provide on this matter.
Thank you,

You're probably best off by discarding this workbook and either going back to a backup copy from before the problem, or by re-creating it from scratch.
