Your OnAction must be a text string and not an executable action... something
like this...

With cbMenu.Controls.Add(msoControlButton, 1, , , True)
.Caption = "Test template"
.OnAction = "Module1.CopySheet1"
End With

'In module 1 place this code...

public sub CopySheet1()
sheet1.copy
end sub
--
HTH...

Still does not work, and no, the sheet is visible.

How does the command know that the sheet is coming from the Add-in?

Here's what I have so far:

With cbMenu.Controls.Add(msoControlButton, 1, , , True)
.Caption = "Test template"
.OnAction = Sheets("Test1").Copy
End With

Thank you.

Have you made the sheet in the addin hidden (which is not necessary since
the
sheets in an addin are not visible by virtue of being an addin? That being
the case...

Sheet1.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheet1.Copy

Sorry but this does not work either. The sheet I want to copy is in the
Add-in but is not apparent..

Thank you.

Tom,

The command does not work (doesn't do anything, not even an error) but
maybe
I wasn't clear enough.

My Add-in had 2 sheets called test1 and test2. The Add-in is not
opened
but
just "loaded" through Tools / Add-ins ....
Once loaded the Add-in creates a menu. I'd like to be able to create
automatically a new workbook with a new sheet based on (copied from)
test1
or test2 from the loaded Add-in.

Thank you again.

Hello,

I am learning VBA and I just created several templates/forms
(sheets)
that I
saved into an Add-in.
The Add-in creates automatically a menu item and I would like to be
able
to
call the templates (sheets) saved in the Add-in from this menu.

How can I do that? What would be the command to execute?

Thank you.

Eric
