Did you create it as temporary?

from the article, it might be:

Me.MenuBarItem = Me.MainMenuBar.Controls.Add( _
Office.MsoControlType.msoControlPopup, Temporary:=True)

Hi!
in my application, I want to execute my managed code with a click on a
toolbar botton. I created my own custom command bar (like it is shown on
MSDN, the articel is from Brian A. Randall)
If I start the application from VS it works fine: I can see my own menu
bar!
If I start directly the Excel- sheet, I can see for a short time my menu-
bar, then it is away.
What can i do to fix this problem?

thanks in advance
Bizi
