    Cannot find Forms folder

    I have a Userform button in an Excel 2003 worksheet which works fine, but I want to edit the code for it, and I can't find the Forms folder. It's just not there. Am I missing something, or is it corrupted somehow (which may be a possibility - a couple of Office things are acting a bit strangely)? The Objects and Modules folders are there. Any ideas?

    It's because you don't have a userform. If you have an ActiveX button, the code for it is in the worksheet object, if it's a Forms button you can't change the code for it, you assign it a macro

    Thanks Kyle123.
    It appears to be a Forms button assigned to a macro. Are you saying that you can't get back to the layout in VBA that was originally used to set up the button?
    I did solve part of my problem - I had the worksheet protected, so I couldn't do anything at all with the button. I can now select it and alter some things from the context menu. Is that about it?

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by the layout in VBA that was used to set up the button. There is no layout, it was placed directly on the worksheet and simply executes a macro in one of tge normal modules. The firms folder is just for designing userforms, you just have a button on a worksheet
