I think I've figured out a partial answer by searching other boards and
some tinkering. Apparently command buttons are now one of several shapes
on the sheet. They seem to no longer have the ability to be disabled, but
can be made visible/invisible (almost as good).
The code below inserted on the sheet containing the button can change
visibility of a command button with object name "Button 1":
' (Command Button is a Type of Shapes on Sheet)
Shapes("Button 1").Visible = False
MsgBox("Button is now invisible")
Shapes("Button 1").Visible = True
MsgBox("Button is now visible")
