command bar name not recognized

[salgud]

I've cobbled together the following code to create a toolbar everytime a
certain spreadsheet opens:

Sub CreateOSIMenubar()

Dim vMacNames As Variant
Dim vCapNames As Variant
Dim vTipText As Variant

Call RemoveOSIMenubar

vMacNames = "OSILogInsertRow"
vCapNames = "OSILogInsertRow"
vTipText = "Add Row"

With Application.CommandBars
.Add
.Name = vMacNames <----- Compile Error: Method or Data Member not found
.Left = 200
.Top = 200
.Protection = msoBarNoProtection
.Visible = True
.Position = msoBarTop
.Left = CommandBars("FormatDGB").Left + CommandBars("FormatDGB").Width
.RowIndex = CommandBars("FormatDGB").RowIndex
End With
With CommandBars(vMacNames).Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & vMacNames
.Caption = vCapNames
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.TooltipText = vTipText
End With
End Sub

Doesn't recognize the name variable or something. Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, Gord. When I try that, I get a "Invalid or
unqualified reference" error on that same lime. Any ideas?

My mistake, error message is "Invalid procedure call or reference"

Can you post the removeosimenubar code?

That is probably throwing an error when you try to remove a bar that does
not yet exist.

With my limited skills I don't see what these two lines do.

..Left = CommandBars("FormatDGB").Left + CommandBars("FormatDGB").Width
.RowIndex = CommandBars("FormatDGB").RowIndex

Maybe you have to wrap them inside their own With...........End With

That fixed it! Thanks, Gord.
