If you had two of these workbooks open at the same time which workbook's
macros would the toolbuttons run? What you've done really isn't viable.
You should put the macros in a utility workbook and have the toolbuttons run
those macros. And the macros should be revised (if necessary) to work on
the active workbook, rather than a specific one, so they can be used with
any customer workbook.
