I assume that your menu system is on a user form. If so, you don't need to
draw coloured boxes, just change the backcolor property of the buttons to a
different color. It could be that the colored boxes you are drawing are
sitting above the buttons, disabling them.

If you color-code the buttons and use the frame object in the control
toolbox to group them together, that should make it more pleasing to the eye.
