no custom button in ribbon
 

Dear all,

I am working on 2 buttons in the ribbon of Excel 2007 (on Vista). I manage
to put the button into the OfficeMenu but the button on the homeTab will not
show up. I can not find a problem with the XML. The button on the homeTab is
supposed to be placed in front of the group clipboard.

I have looked around to find a solution to this problem, but to no avail.
Does anyone have a suggestion, please?

XML follows:
----------------------
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"
<ribbon
<officeMenu
<button id="testMenuButtonI" label="De test standaard Excel"
insertAfterMso="FileNew" imageMso="MailMergeStartLetters" screentip="De test
standaard" supertip="Maak een nieuwe standaardwerkmap."
onAction="StartStandaardExcel" /
</officeMenu

<tabs
<tab id="TabHome"
<group id="customGroup" label="De test"
insertBeforeMso="GroupClipboard"
<button id="customExcelStandaard" label="Start"
imageMso="MailMergeStartLetters" size="large" screentip="De test standaard"
supertip="Maak een nieuwe standaardwerkmap." onAction="StartStandaardExcel"
/
</group
</tab
</tabs
</ribbon
</customUI
-------------------

Cheers,
Birgit

Birgit,

Change this line:

<tab id="TabHome"

To this:

<tab idMso="TabHome"

See if that makes a difference.

Thank you very much for your help Ilia and Ron,

The tip with IdMso worked like a charm (Is this again the small differences
we have always seen between Word and Excel?).

Ron, you have a great website. I have put it into my favorites to return to
it soon.

Cheers,
Birgit
