First, I want to thank all who participate in this group. I am most
grateful for all the help. I've learned things here that I never would have
found on my own.

My current problem. I've designed a number of very nice icons for my
commandbar buttons. But when the pasteface method puts them on the buttons,
my icons show up fuzzy rather than showing up crisp and clean, as they were
designed. It seems that the pasteface method includes some sort of digital
smoothing algorithm.

My icons look awful after passing through the digital smoothing thing. But
the built-in icons look great, unfuzzy, and very clean. Does anyone know
how to turn that smoothing stuff off?

Don't copy the picture, use CopyPicture instead:

ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects(picFaceId).CopyPicture xlScreen, xlBitmap

where picFaceID is the name given to the icon picture embedded in the worksheet.
