Adding Menus to the Ribbon
I have a 2007 Add-In workbook that has XML in it to add a Custon Menu Tab in
the Ribbon. How can I ensure that the tab is always placed last in the Ribbon. For example, Home, Insert, Page Layout, ...., Developer, CUSTOM TAB HERE. Plus, I have noticed that if I save the workbook with a .xls extension the Ribbon goes back to default settings when activating another workbook and back to the custom settings I have when the my workbook is reactivated. Why does it not do that when I have the workbook saved with a .xla extension? -- Cheers, Ryan |

Adding Menus to the Ribbon
Hi Ryan Use insertAfterMso <tab id="MyCustomTab" label="My Tab" insertAfterMso="TabDeveloper" Plus, I have noticed that if I save the workbook with a .xls extension the Ribbon goes back to default settings when activating another workbook and back to the custom settings I have when the my workbook is reactivated. Why does it not do that when I have the workbook saved with a .xla extension? That's normal in 2007 A xla is a hidden workbook and the code/menus that is in it you want to use in all open workbooks that is in the xla. In a normal workbook it will load the ribbonX when you activate the workbook and remove your changes when you deactivate it -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "RyanH" wrote in message ...

Adding Menus to the Ribbon
Thanks for the reply. Since I am using a Add-In workbook is there a way to
hide the custom tab when the workbook I want to use the tab in is deactivated and then unhide it when the workbook is activated? If not, I will just make sure to test the workbook I want to use the tab in is the activeworkbook before any of the buttons execute there code. -- Cheers, Ryan "Ron de Bruin" wrote: Hi Ryan Use insertAfterMso <tab id="MyCustomTab" label="My Tab" insertAfterMso="TabDeveloper" Plus, I have noticed that if I save the workbook with a .xls extension the Ribbon goes back to default settings when activating another workbook and back to the custom settings I have when the my workbook is reactivated.

<tab id="MyCustomTab" label="My Tab" insertAfterMso="TabDeveloper" If you leave the insertAfterMso="TabDeveloper" out completely I believe Excel will place your group last at the time it adds the group. The above places the group between the Developer tab but before Add-ins if you have that displayed. I say "at the time it adds the group" because a later loaded workbook or add-in can have its group placed after yours so you cannot force your to always be last. Re changing the tab's visibility at runtime, you should be able to do that by invalidating the ribbon with the workbook activate and deactivate events along with using the getVisible attribute to name a procedure returning the visible state. -- Jim "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ... | | Hi Ryan | | Use insertAfterMso | | <tab id="MyCustomTab" label="My Tab" insertAfterMso="TabDeveloper" | | | Plus, I have noticed that if I save the workbook with a .xls extension the | Ribbon goes back to default settings when activating another workbook and | back to the custom settings I have when the my workbook is reactivated.

Adding Menus to the Ribbon
Because this workbook is opened in 2003 as well. 2003 will not recognize the
2007 Add-In. My 2007 Add-In is only used to make changes to the ribbon when 2007 opens it. I have another add-in with 2003 that is used as a reference which contains all the code to manipulate the data in the my workbook name Production Schedule. So when my Production workbook is opened in 2003 the 2003 Add-In is opened to be used as a Reference. When 2007 opens my Production workbook in opens the 2007 Add-In to change the Ribbon and uses 2003 Add-In as a Reference. Are you asking, becuase you have something else in mind? -- Cheers, Ryan "Ron de Bruin" wrote: Why do you want to use it is a add-in ? -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "RyanH" wrote in message ...
