Can anyone point me to an example file that actually creates a
floating toolbar with, hopefully, at least 2 working buttons on it?
I've googled the archives of this ng and all the examples I've tried
bring up an extra box along the top menu, mimicking the upper
left-hand corner of any sheet along the top (the one that just
restores, minimizes and closes). Where I first saw this floating
toolbar concept is in an invoice sheet that is completely locked down
so I can't see the working code and how it does what it does.

Pls, any help would be appreciated. I googled for this and only one
example came up (in German <g), which I dl scanned for viruses and
tried out but it wasn't the right thing, either.

Thanks so much! :oD

Isn't this always the way - when I was looking for examples of
commandbar, nothing came up. Tonight I was googling for instructions
on using custom icons with a commandbar and this page came up with
quite a few examples. Though not all commandbar ones, there was
closely related ones, too.

Cheers! :oD

p.s., opted not to go with a custom icon for one of the buttons as
it's beyond me right now and too much work right at this time. I have
now added a floating toolbar to an older time sheet file which I'll
take to work tomorrow. Using it as an example I'll be able to modify
the newer version of this time sheet. It should work a treat. One of
the buttons on the new floating toolbar will create a copy of a hidden
"template" sheet which was on a button found on this older file
initially and which would necessarily get replicated with each new
sheet copy. I was concerned that over time, this would add a lot of
unncessary extra bloat to the file size. With the floating toolbar,
this problem has been eliminated completely. Tx.
