Excel 2007 Issue: Pre-programmed Buttons suddenly

Microsoft Excel ActiveX Controls Disabled? 11 answers

Today, out of the blue, a form that the company I work for uses, suddenly had an issue with it's buttons. Strangely enough it only is affecting what I'm pretty sure are the ActiveX Command Buttons and not causing a problem with the other shapes or drop downs.

The issue. The buttons are non-responsive. When you click, they don't access the code and checking them via the shapes menu and selecting "view code" causes them to open the developer menu, but not the code associated with them. The really big issue is that for some reason they ALL seem to have started failing at the same time. The version on the server no longer works (the primary copy), the copy the user uses (notorious for breaking things) and the version I use (which is on my local computer).

Is there a way to take them an re-associate them with the proper code, without deleting them completely re-making them or is there possibly someone who's had the same issue and figured out a fix?

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or help - please note: I'm 99.9% sure that the issue is not code based.

The problem is caused by a recent Office update. Here is the fix posted on http://excelmatters.com/2014/12/10/office-update-breaks-activex-controls/

To fix it, do this:

Close all Office applications.

Do a search in Windows Explorer – make sure to include hidden and system files and folders – for *.exd files (note: that’s not *.exe !!) and delete any you find. Make sure you get these: C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Excel8.0\MSForms.exd C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\VBE\MSForms.exd

Reboot the computer (this is not always necessary, but probably better safe than sorry)

Restart your Office apps and test the controls again.
