I think I got it! I need to separate the procedures, and it worked! Thanks!

**** IN THE MODULE'S VBA ****
Sub ToggleApplicationCalculation()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
If Application.Calculation = xlManual Then
Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
MsgBox "Calculation toggled to Automatic."
Else
Application.Calculation = xlManual
Application.CalculateBeforeSave = True
MsgBox "Calculation toggled to Manual."
End If
ErrorHandler:
End Sub 'ToggleApplicationCalculation


**** IN THISWORKBOOK'S VBA ****

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Standard").Controls( _
"ToggleApplicationCalculation").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Standard").Controls( _
"ToggleApplicationCalculation").Delete
On Error GoTo 0

With Application.CommandBars("Standard")
With .Controls.Add(Temporary:=True)
.BeginGroup = True
.Style = msoButtonIcon
.FaceId = 283
.Caption = "CalculateToggle"
.OnAction = "ToggleApplicationCalculation"
End With
End With

End Sub

I am having trouble to get this to work properly. It seems that I can add
a
button by selection the add-in and some other items, but it seems like it
does not work consistently. Also, when I hardcode a breakpoint "stop" on
the
workbookopen, it does not stop there. Any ideas? Thanks much!

I have a macro to toggle the calcuation button, but wish to convert it
to
an
.xla that I can share with my co-workers more easily. Does anyone know
how
to
do this so that the macro exists along with the button? I am not
experienced
in this area.

Also, does anyone know how to improve the macro so that I can tell by
the
button image if calc is on or off? Thanks much! Here is the macro
below.
Sub ToggleApplicationCalculation()
If Application.Calculation = xlManual Then
Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
MsgBox "Calculation toggled to Automatic."
Else
Application.Calculation = xlManual
Application.CalculateBeforeSave = True
MsgBox "Calculation toggled to Manual."
End If
End Sub 'ToggleApplicationCalculation
