Custom toolbar for template - macros not working

[Guest]

Hi,

I am running Excel 2003. I have tried to follow Dave Peterson's
instructions for creating and destroying a toolbar when a document is
opened/closed. The create/destroy is working ok but when I click on the
buttons an error when I click the buttons on the toolbar. Even though the
macros are ALL in the file, I get an error like the following. (I've
substituted generic terms. It always accurately lists the open file name and
the macro I'm trying to execute.)

The macro 'OpenFileName!MacroName' cannot be found.

Here is my VBA code. Can anyone tell me how to get Excel to find the macros?

Thanks very much for your help.

Where did you put those 7 macros?

Did you put them in a General module (not behind a worksheet and not behind
ThisWorkbook)?

If you did (and spelled them so that they matched <bg>), try changing this:

..OnAction = ThisWorkbook.Name & "!" & mac_names(i)
to
..OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & mac_names(i)

(note the apostrophe added before the exclamtion point)

Bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That fixed it! Thanks so much for answering so
quickly! I have been pulling my hair out today because 45 people are waiting
for me to roll out this template. I decided Friday night to add a menu bar
because they couldn't remember the mnemonics for the six macros that applied
to them. This has been a real educational experience!

I really apprediate your taking the time to answer.
