Jan Karel was writing about having multiple workbooks open (including the one
with the attached toolbar) and hiding that toolbar when you're in one of the
other workbooks.

Jan Karel was suggesting workbook_activate to show them and workbook_deactivate
to hide them from the other workbooks.

Dave - Jan said that "if you want a certain menu-item or toolbar button to
be unavailable whilst certain workbooks are visible (or only available
whilst one workbook is there), you need to use VBA code to show and hide
them." I think he's mistaken about that. For my explanation on this,
please see my latest reply to Greg Wilson elsewhere in this thread.

Again, you were exactly right when you said I missed a step when I did it
manually. A "attached" the toolbar to the workbook before I put the command
buttons on the toolbar. The key is to build the toolbar by putting
everything on it before attaching it to the workbook.

Thanks.
