Hello, I want to save a custom command bar into an excel workbook.
Instead of doing that manually, I want to do with Vb code (before close,
join the command bar to the book, and delete the bar).

The Vb help says I can do it using the command bar property "context"
<Application.CommandBars("BarName").Context, but I do not know how to use
context (there is no example).
Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks in advance

John has a Webpage that offers an addin. The code is unprotected, so

Hello Tom
I have looked at these articles, but I haven't found what I'm looking for.

I'm working with Excel97. I have built a custom command bar with some
macros, for some friends in the office. The macros code is in an xla.

I have manually saved (joined) this command bar to en excel workbook. If
someone opens the book, the command bar appears, and it remains in Excel
application.

I do not like to create the bar trough code (the bar has custom icons, etc).
It's easy for me to create it manually

I only wanted to have some code in the book that contains the command bar
(in the Before Close event), to be sure that the bar is always saved after I
made changes.

Excuse my poor English. I hope it's enought clear. I have posted the same
question in the Spanish Excel forum, but they say I can no join a custom
command bar to a book with code (only manually). That's the reason to post
the question here.

Thxs again!

Commandbars are application level. Once it is created, it is not really
related to the commandbar you attached to your workbook. If you make
changes to it where you are working (where it was created by opening the
workbook). Those changes will be saved automatically.

If you mean you want to change it where you first created it and have it
updated in the workbook where you attached it, I believe you have to do that
manually.


Here is an article which talks about attaching toolbars:
