I have three Workbooks and all need to be open at once.
The one required at any given time is selected
using "Window" in the Menu Bar.
Each Workbook has an associated and unique Custom Toolbar
brought up when the Workbook is first opened,
using "Auto_Open".
To close each WB there is a button on its associated
toolbar which operates a WB close module (macro).
There are two things I cannot fathom how to do.

1. When I select a different WB (ie one of the other
two via "Window") I need its associated unique toolbar to
be displayed and that of the parting WB removed.

2. When I close a given WB, using its unique
toolbar's close button, I need that toolbar to be removed
and replaced by the one associated with the (next) WB now
appearing.

I can achieve 1 above by putting suitable code in
ThisWorkbook, Workbook Activate.
However when I do 2 above I get an error message
"Application-defined or object-defined error"
I can't find a suitable event kicked off by the closure of
the "old" WB and the arrival of the "new"

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think you need to trap application events. You can do this by adding a
class module with the following in the declarations:

Public WithEvents xlApp As Application

You also need to declare this in a standard module:

Public xlApplication As New clsAppEvents

And this in the ThisWorkbook object:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set xlApplication.xlApp = Application
End Sub

This will expose application events in the class module, one of which being
xlApp_Workbook_Activate. You can then do whatever you wish based on the
workbook that is open (select xlApp in the object dropdown at the the top of
the VBE - the possible procedures are then listed in the procedure
dropdown).

Cheers,

Jeff

In ThisWorkbook module use the Activate event sub to create the menu, and
the Deactivate event to delete the menu.

Jeff.

tip:
since thisworkbook is a classmodule you could put them all in
thisworkbook...

I often use A as it's name, so i can use
things like a.goto a.worksheetfunction etc.


Option Explicit

Public WithEvents A As Application

Private Sub A_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
A.Goto Sh.Cells(3, 3)
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set A = Application
End Sub

Heh, this shows what happens when you read stuff out of a book without
really understanding it :)
