Sorry for the crosspost, put it in the wrong forum.

I created a custom toolbar first without code and
attached macros to the buttons, and they worked fine.
however, I had problems sharing the workbook with others;
I followed some code posted here to create a toolbar in
code, I used the .onaction property to assign the buttons
to the same macros but they don't work - it says macro
doesn't exist!!

I noticed this difference - when it fails it says the
macro "filename.xls!macroname" not found. But when I use
the toolbar customize fature to assign the macro it's in
the form "Thisworkbook!macroname". Looking for help!!

I have commandbar examples on my website.

Often your symptoms will occur when there is some sort of compile error.
If the module doesn't compile, OnAction cannot find the macro to run.

Perhaps there is a missing reference?

Are you sure that you put your macros in a standard code module, not one of
the calls modules such as ThisWorkbook, or the sheet modules?

I did put it in th4 ThisWorkbook module. I don't have a
clear understanding yet of what goes where! Obviously...

So that was a mistake? :-)

.

Yes it was. Put it in a standard code module and re-assign the macros to the
buttons.

Thanks will do.

But another related question. Where should you store
global varaible declarations and assignments? I put them
in the workbook On_open event handler. Is that correct?

What do you mean by global variable declarations and assignments?
