I have used a value of 6136 for btn.FaceId. This works fine in Excel
2003, and I think it's OK in XL2002, but a user with XL2000 is
reporting Error 80004005. I got them to change it to a smaller number
and it worked OK (except obviously they get the wrong icon).
Any idea what is causing this error?
Is there a maximum value for FaceId, that varies depending on the
version of Excel? If so, what are the limits for the different
versions?
Number 6136 isn't particularly good for what I want anyway. Can anyone
suggest a better icon for launching a tool that performs various types
of analysis to identify and label certain data points in an Excel
Chart?

Thanks
Phil.

Hi Phil,

There is substantial disparity in the range of faceids between xl2k and
latest versions.

Phil,

I use #2138 in my "Chart Data Labels" program.
Also, #2128 looks usable.
At times, I have spent much effort finding the right icon;
however, I doubt if it really makes much difference to the user.

"Chart Data Labels" xl Add-in available -free- upon direct request.
Adds linked formatted data labels to a chart series;
moves or positions labels.

Thanks Jim,

2138 & 2128 look like possibilities. I was also considering 435.
Thanks for the offer of your code. I wasn't planning on changing the
code for labelling the points (this was written years ago (in VB6) and
still seems to be working OK at the moment) I've just recently added a
toolbar in another project which was causing this particular problem. I
may well be doing some work in this area in the near future though, so
I may be in touch about taking a peek at your addin.

Cheers,
Phil.
