The article "Preventing Users from Modifying Custom Command Bars" in the
MSDN Library suggests there are only three ways to access the Customize
dialog box, and provides two lines of VBA code that blocks access to this
dialog box.

However, there is a fourth way to access the Customize dialog box. At the
end of a toolbar (at least in Excel XP) there is a narrow button with only
an arrow on it, called Toolbar Options I think. This button is present even
on the custom toolbars I created! When I click this button, under the Add or
Remove Buttons popup menu, the Customize... command is available, and it
brings up the Customize dialog box even after I have run the two lines of
code provided in the MSDN article. I've tried to write all sorts of code,
but cannot disable the Tollbar Options button. Do you know how to do this
using VBA code? Or, alternatively how to block users from modifying custom
tollbars using this fourth way?

Thanks for helping.
