Add menu to QAT with VBA Excel 2007 & 2003
I have a program that is distributed to thousands of people that everybody
has been using for years (Excel 2003). So everybody is acostomed to using the menus to run the program. During the conversion to 2007, I need a way to have my program work with both 2003 & 2007. Is there a way to add the menus to the QAT in VBA (if opened in 2007)? Or do I just need to teach people to look at the "Add-ins" ribbon? If so, can I write code to modify the ribbon and still have the workbook be compatable in 2003? Thanks in advance... |

If you want to learn about modifying the ribbon, you can start at Ron de Bruin's
site: http://www.rondebruin.nl/ribbon.htm http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm -- For macros for all workbooks (saved as an addin) or http://www.rondebruin.nl/2007addin.htm (I know I'm lazy, but it doesn't bother me to look at the addins tab.)

So it looks like I can't simply add an item to the QAT (programmatically
with VBA during the Workbook_Open event)? As to ribbons, at the very least I want to change the name of the tab from Add-Ins to something else. I assume this involves adding a customized ribbon as well? Before I start on this - my real question is compatibility(ver 2003 & 2007), and will this work (without compile errors in 2003)? Private Sub Workbook_Open() If Application.Version 11 Then Spend a bunch of time to make things look nice Else Add existing menus here End If End Sub "Dave Peterson" wrote: If you want to learn about modifying the ribbon, you can start at Ron de Bruin's site: http://www.rondebruin.nl/ribbon.htm http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm -- For macros for all workbooks (saved as an addin) or http://www.rondebruin.nl/2007addin.htm (I know I'm lazy, but it doesn't bother me to look at the addins tab.)
