button bar
 

I have made a custom button bar for my spreadsheet and have set it as visible
as an open event! is there a way of saving the custom bar with the sheet so
that when i email it to someone else the custom button bar is available to
them?
any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Build the bar dynamically. Here is an example of what I mean.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("myToolbar").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim oCB As CommandBar
Dim oCtl As CommandBarControl

On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("myToolbar").Delete
On Error GoTo 0

Set oCB = Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:="myToolbar",
temporary:=True)
With oCB
Set oCtl = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With oCtl
.BeginGroup = True
.Caption = "savenv"
.OnAction = "savenv"
.FaceId = 27
End With
Set oCtl = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With oCtl
.Caption = "savemyprog"
.OnAction = "savemyprog"
.FaceId = 28
End With
Set oCtl = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With oCtl
.Caption = "macro4"
.OnAction = "macro4"
.FaceId = 29
End With
Set oCtl = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With oCtl
.Caption = "dater"
.OnAction = "dater"
.FaceId = 30
End With
.Visible = True
.Position = msoBarTop
End With

End Sub


'To add this, go to the VB IDE (ALT-F11 from Excel), and in
'the explorer pane, select your workbook. Then select the
'ThisWorkbook object (it's in Microsoft Excel Objects which
'might need expanding). Double-click the ThisWorkbook and
'a code window will open up. Copy this code into there,
'changing the caption and action to suit.

'This is part of the workbook, and will only exist with the
'workbook, but will be available to anyone who opens the
'workbook.
