I have a custom menuitem, which runs some VBA macros, added to the Excel
'Worksheet Menu Bar' toolbar.
This toolbar changes slightly when I select an embedded graph in the sheet,
and the menuitem disappears.
How can I make this menuitem available in this 'changed' toolbar as well?
thanks

Roland,

It's a misconception that the buttons disappear on the Worksheet Menu Bar
when you activate a chart. What actually happens is that the Worksheet Menu
Bar is supplated by the Chart Menu Bar (as opposed to Chart toolbar) which
looks identical except that it has a Chart menu item.

To prove this, activate a chart and then drag the menu bar down so that it
is no longer docked but floating. You will see that it's named "Chart Menu
Bar". Conversely, do this when a chart is not active and you will see
"Worksheet Menu Bar". I have never figured out why they don't just have a
hidden Chart menu item on the WMB that is made visible when a chart is
activated and invisible when not.

The suggested solution is to add your button(s) to the Chart Menu Bar as well.

Regards,
Greg
