On the same line you are talking about a built in commandbar ID: (from help)

Id Optional Variant. An integer that specifies a built-in control. If the
value of this argument is 1, or if this argument is omitted, a blank custom
control of the specified type will be added to the command bar.

You just wanted to use the ICON which is the FaceID - two different things.

Sub CreateCourseFeedbackDocuments()
MsgBox "In CreateCourseFeedbackDocuments"

Sub About()
MsgBox "In About"
End Sub

Change Menu1 to your commandbar. If you want it on the main menu, use
"Worksheet Menu Bar"

With .Add(msoControlButton, 749) <---- this line causes the
error.
