I have about 10 user forms. How can I create a new menu to select a user
form. The user forms contain prepared statements for use in a given area
(i.e. electrical, plumbing, grounds, etc)
The menu should be available only for this workbook.

Thanks
Hank

This is pretty crude but should give you some ideas. CreateMenu should be
called from the Workbook_Activate event and DeleteMenu from the
Workbook_Deactivate event.

Sub CreateMenu()
Dim UFBar As CommandBar
Dim newButton As CommandBarButton
Set UFBar = CommandBars.Add("UserForms")
Set newButton = UFBar.Controls _
.Add
With newButton
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = "UserForm1"
.OnAction = "ShowUF1"
End With
Set newButton = UFBar.Controls _
.Add
With newButton
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = "UserForm2"
.OnAction = "ShowUF2"
End With
UFBar.Visible = True
End Sub

Sub ShowUF1()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Sub ShowUF2()
UserForm2.Show
End Sub

Sub DeleteMenu()
CommandBars("UserForms").Delete
End Sub

Of course, you will need to add error handling. Also, you can avoid writing
10 separate subs for the 10 forms but it requires quite a bit of effort.

Suggested amendment

Set UFBar = CommandBars.Add("UserForms")

to

Set UFBar = CommandBars.Add("UserForms", temporary:=True)
