I am trying to create an add-in that creates a menu in Excel 2003 & 2007
each time an excel document is opened.

I have downloaded http://www.rondebruin.nl/compatiblemenu.htm - Example 3
is exactly the way I want it to work, BUT don't what to put the code in each
workbook.


I have tried saving the example "File A" as an add-in and copied it to the
XLSTART folder. This works fine in 2003, but in 2007 I get a Debug error
"rib.InvalidateControl "RDBGroup1".

Has anyone had success with loading from an add-in

Thanks
John

Hi JC

Do you want that the menu is there for every workbook ?

Wow - Ron de Bruin answering himself ..

That's correct , I've tried a number of different ways

e.g.. putting the `MacroModule', `mRibbon', `mXL' modules and the code in
this "ThisWorkbook" in a module (using Sub Auto_open) in a separate Start-up
add-in, but I can't get it to work in 2007. It works for 2003 but in Excel
2007 it show the debug error I previously mentioned.

Ideally, I would like 1 add-in file that will show the menus each time excel
is opened, all PC's with Office 2003 on have the 2007 compatibility pack
installed so they read a .xlam.

Thanks for the reply

Hi JC

I will test a few things with the compatibility pack installed on a 2003 machine and
see what the best solution is and get back to you this weekend

Good night
