I'm using the following VBA code to create a button in Excel that runs a
macro. The code is in the Workbook_Open procedure. I use the .Delete
method in the Workbook_Beforeclose procedure to remove the button when the
workbook is closed.

Dim oCb As CommandBar
Dim oCtl As CommandBarButton
Set oCb = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
With oCb
Set oCtl = .Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlButton, _
Temporary:=True)
oCtl.Caption = "My Button."
oCtl.OnAction = "My Macro"
oCtl.FaceId = 270
oCtl.Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
End With


Is there a way using VBA to see if the button already exists so as not to
create a duplicate button?


Thanks in advance..

Mike

Don't bother, just delete it regardless

On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu
Bar").Controls("myButton").Delete
On Error Goto 0

before this code
