Attaching A Custom Toolbar To Workbook
Apr 14, 2009
I have created a workbook and made a custom toolbar to perform the macro functions for the sheets in the workbook. Everything works great for me, but I want to attach the custom toolbar to the workbook so that whenever someone else pulls up the workbook they pull up the custom toolbar too.
I used the tools menu, clicked customize, toolbars, attach, selected the custom toolbar and clicked copy.
No toolbar appears.
I can select View, Toolbars, and select the custom toolbar, then the toolbar appears, but when I close the sheet the toolbar remains.
When someone else opens the sheet, the toolbar appears without any "buttons." It is an empty toolbar.
The help text isn't helping because the instructions for attaching a custom toolbar to a worksheet (tools/customize/toolbars/attach/copy) do not attach the toolbar to the workbook.

I want to be able to create a range of VBA userforms to quickly perform long tedious tasks. I want these userforms to be accessed from a nice tidy toolbar.
I have done this and it looks nice and works well. What I would like to be able to do is have my custom toolbar of userform controlled functions be transferable so that if someone else wants my toolbar and attached functions they can install it easily much the same way you can do with an add in.
Is this sort of thing possible or does it require them to manually install all my userforms, modules and toolbar? If it is possible what sort of things should I be looking at?

I have created 2 toolbar buttons which were attached to a macro that ran the original 'EditTenancy'. I now want to change these to use anew macro 'EditExistingTenancy' but cannot see how to do it as when I right click now I only get a toolbar list.
Do I have to creat 2 new toolbar buttons?
How do I get rid of the non-functioning ones?

I'm preparing a model which has a few macros built-in. Let's call them Macro A, B, C etc. I want to trigger them via buttons on a custom toolbar (no problem) which a recipient of the model, on another PC, will be able to see (problem).
It was suggested to me that in Customize mode I can right click the custom toolbar and then click "Attach..." but this always causes Excel (2002) to freeze; I must then close Excel.
Someone else suggested that a better way is to have VBA code create the toolbar "on the fly" automatically when a recipient opens the spreadsheet. This is too advanced for me to write at the moment. Could someone give me a steer?

I created a custom toolbar called "PAT" for users. It has 5 custom buttons-save, import,submit,close,help. I attached it to the toolbars as instructed at the site http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/toolbar-remove-restore.htm. I need to keep the worksheet tabs showing so I cannot use the application.DisplayFullScreen = True. For each worksheet that the user will be viewing, i have the following
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.CommandBars("PAT").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("PAT").Controls("Import").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("PAT").Controls("Submit").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("PAT").Controls("Save").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("PAT").Controls("Help").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("PAT").Controls("Close").Enabled = True
End Sub
ON my workbook activate code and workbook open code, I remove all native toolbars so only the one i created is showing, using Application.CommandBars("PAT").Enabled = True
On workbook deactivate I have the following.................

I have written VBA to create and populate a custom toolbar when a worksheet is opened, and to close when it is closed. I need to know if its possible to disable the close button of the toolbar, as I don't want any of my work colleagues accidentally closing the toolbar and then coming to me to ask me how to reopen it.

The file who containd the toolbars informations is C:Documents and Settings<<USER>>Application DataMicrosoftExcelExcel.xlb
I copied this file to another computer and my custom toolbar appeared there.
In a file, I created a custom toolbar with submenus. It is possible to save this toolbar with file, so that I can use the file on other computers without the need to create each time this bar.

A couple years ago i made a giant spreadsheet and had 2 custom toolbars to run macros from to manipulate the sheet.
This year i re-did the sheet, meaning all my old data was replaced (it's a giant schedule basically).
However, the Macros in the custom toolbars stayed exactly the same and performed the same function and are directed to the exact same cells, rows, columns, etc..
But now when i hit the buttons on the custom toolbars to run my macros, i get the following message... all the time...
**
A document with the name "NHLsheet.xls" is already open. You cannot open two documents
with the same name, even if the documents are in different folders.
To open the second document, either close the document that's currently open, or rename one of the documents.
**
Trouble is, i have only 1 document open!
There's something in the macros that thinks i'm trying to open a new document but i'm clueless as to where or why.. they are very simple macros
that do not require the opening of any new workbooks..
All they do is point to another sheet within my open workbook, "NHLsheet", copy a particular row from that sheet, and paste it to a specific spot onto another sheet within my workbook, "NHLsheet".
Here is a sample:

I work with excel docs that have alot of sheets. I managed to create a vba form that has a listbox populated with the sheet names, that when clicked goes to the respective sheet. The problem is that when the form is open i cannot focus on the excel sheet - the form needs to be closed first.
1 ) Is it possible to make an excel vba form dockable (so it could be displayed on the right where help would be)
Or
2) Would it be possible to create a drop down in the toolbar that would have the sheet names.
I think the latter is a cleaner solution (if possible).

i've got an excel workbook called..lets say.. "Database"..it contains spreadsheets with lots of exciting data..and Users view(and occassionally add to) this data through a variety of userforms.
what i'd love to know is whether theres any way to "bind" userforms to a specific workbook?
i.e. can i make it so my userforms "MIGHT" be displayed (might bcos it depends on the users selection)...while "Database is the active worksheet".....but not displayed if it isn't...e.g. if they open another excel workbook..
at the moment my userforms are present in every excel project (while Database is open and the forms are being used), which is clearly bad since they block half the screen....
does anyone possibly know how to have Userforms only show up when a specific workbook is being used?i've been stuck on this for a couple of days now and its driving me crazy.
equally if you don't think its possible, i'd love to know so i can stop wasting my time on this....there is a way around the problem..but it involves putting my "Main Menu" -which opens all my userforms- as part of an excel spreadsheet instead of a userform..and having it userform based just makes it look so much better.

I have added a toolbar to an excel application that the company uses. I need this toolbar only to be accessed to this application and not any time that you open excel. I have used the following
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Visible = True
go_cover
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_close()
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Delete
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Visible = False
End Sub
This works but only If I accept yes when it prompts me to save changes to the workbook. Each time I open the workbook and close it, it prompts me to save changes to the workbook. I dont want to force a save on the workbook, meaning have code that will save the workbook before closing. I want it such that if the user opens the workbook, and makes no changes, he/she should just close it with no questions asked.

How do you control the orientation of a floating toolbar? The code below puts the elements horizontally, while I'd like to make the toobar have a vertical format (one macro per line). I'd also be interested if there's a way to do sub-menus to organize the toolbar buttons better. how to revise the code below, and/or a pointer to where I can read about this. I tried searching google and this forum to no avail.
Option Explicit
Public Const ToolBarName As String = "My Toolbar"
Sub Auto_Open()
Call CreateMenubar
End Sub
Sub Auto_Close()
Call RemoveMenubar
End Sub
Sub RemoveMenubar()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars(ToolBarName).Delete
On Error Goto 0
End Sub
Sub CreateMenubar()......................

I created a custom toolbar button which works perfectly.
Because I needed to save each workbook as a specific workbook this is taken care of by the vb code.
I would like when the button is pressed for the original workbook template to be opened.
At this moment if I have a blank workbook or no workbook open and I press the button the programme opens a version of the workbook but not the template version how do I point Excel at the templates.

I have created a custom floating toolbar that works perfect (thanks to all the reading on here!). My workbook is a stand alone estimating tool that many users will have a copy of.
I have two things I want to do yet but I cant find it on here.
1) My buttons on my toolbar - I want to have custom icons. I can do this temporarily but when I exit my worksheet and re-open they are lost. Is there anyway to save a custom icon. I am willing to add it to the icon list if necessary and then when users open the workbook copy the custom icons onto their computer. But I am not sure how/where I could do this.
Worse case, can I color my button text?
2) When my toolbar appears, it is wide, all buttons are going left to right. I want the size to be small width so the toolbar buttons are on top of each other. Any thoughts? I tried adding a .width but it didnt work.

which of these toolbars provides the better 'controls' to paste onto worksheets (as opposed to UserForms)? For those wondering, both toolbars contain some apparently similar controls, e.g., combo box, radio button, spinner etc. but there are differences in their behaviour it would seem...
