Network issue
 

Anyone know how I can have a custom toolbar I have created in Office 2003 on
one computer made available on a another computer using Office 2000. The
two computer are linked together on a home network

Thank you if you can help
Pat

It depends on how you created your custom toolbar.

If you did it manually (tools|customize), then these changes are stored in your
*.xlb file (use windows search to find the latest version). Then you can
replace the other pc's *.xlb file with your new copy. (Warning--I'm not sure if
xl2k and xl2003's xlb files are compatible. I do know that xl95 and xl97
weren't. Second warning--If I had a bunch of custom toolbars, I wouldn't want
you overwriting it with your favorites.)

If you've associated macros with these buttons, you'll want to move the workbook
and locate it in the same folder name--else you'll be reassigning the buttons to
the macros.

===
If you created the toolbar, but attached it to a workbook, just share the
workbook.

If you're going to do that, you'll want to read Jan Karel Pieterse's notes:

I think the easiest/safest way is to build the toolbar on the fly (when the
workbook is opened) and delete it when you close the workbook.

Here's a shell that I use to build toolbars:

Then you could just share that workbook with the other pc.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your reply,

The link is broken with 'Not Found' returned. Is the link correct?

Google is doing stuff (the link used to work ok).

http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?th...5B41%40msn.com

searching google via the UK:
http://groups.google.co.uk/advanced_...ugroup=*excel*
gives the older non-beta layout, too
