I've written a macro that I want to fire using a command button. I wrote
a macro that adds the button - and one that deletes it just fine.
However I am having problems automating the adding and the deleting of
the button on the standard toolbar - I only want it available for a
particular workbook.

I thought I should be using an event procedure. So I've tried
different combinations of:
Open
Before close
Workbook activate
deactivate.

In the event procedures I am either calling a procedure in a standard
module that adds the button, or a procedure that deletes the button on
the standard toolbar.

Sometimes it runs fine - other times it errors out - sometimes I end up
with multiple buttons. I want to be able to be able to activate another
workbook and have the btn deleted = when back add it again. I also want
to be able to close the workbook and have the button deleted.

Thanks for any suggestions.
Richard

It belongs in the Workbook_Open event.
You need to delete it on Before_Close.
