The "Ribbon" is encoded in XML and as you know is particular to Office 2007.
Toolbars and Menubars are both forms of Commandbars in previous versions of
Excel.

I know of no means to convert your ribbons to Commandbars, but coding
Commandbars is not difficult. I believe I got started with them by reading
John Walkenbach's book Excel 2003 Power Programming in vba. It has been
updated with a 2007 version which may have some clues to help you. I believe
he also provides some examples online. http://spreadsheetpage.com

Other great resources are Chuck Peason at www.cpeason.com, and Rodney's
wonderful page at http://www.beyondtechnology.com/. My appologies to the
myriad others who deserve mention.

I have developed a Workbook in 2007 that uses the IRibbonUI extensively to
provide a workflow through the 40 sheets. The ribbon is a 'start from
scratch' and I also lock the user out of 'PLY' right-clicks.

I have been asked to determine the feasibility of converting this Workbook
so that it will run in Excel 2003 and was wondering if there is a website
you know of that would give me some insight as to what I have to do. Ron de
Brun goes from 2003 to 2007. I need to reverse that.

Thanks for your assistance.
