XLSM File Will Not Save Macros in Quick Access Toolbar
I have a workbook with several macros to automate repetitive tasks. The tasks
are so repetitive that I added the macros to the Quick Access Toolbar. I added the buttons "for this workbook only", because I don't need them in every workbook (and they aren't available in any other workbooks). I save the file, close it, and re-open it. I then see that the "this workbook only" part of the QAT is completely gone. I assume this is a bug, because if it were by design, then there would be no point in allowing macros to be added to the toolbar. Also, I have added macros to QATs on other computers. The problem seems limited to my computer. The problem is NOT limited to one workbook; I can reproduce the issue at will with any XLSM file. Many internet searches have yielded no help. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you. |

Ah ha! Success! The buttons I added were in the XML file. They were just not
appearing on the QAT. I followed your instructions, and they reappeared. I learned by experimenting that I can modify existing buttons, but if I add any new buttons, then I lose the entire "this workbook" section of the QAT until I re-edit the XML file. Hopefully this bug will be addressed by Microsoft soon, but meanwhile, your workaround is easy and effective. Thank you very much!

You must save it as a add-in to avoid this in 2007
See this page for a example http://www.rondebruin.nl/imageqat.htm In 2010 we not have this problem anymore Maybe you like this for 2007 http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Louis Pace" wrote in message ...
