Excel 2007 Menus

[Guest]

I am creating a menu with code that works in 03 to create a menu, and when I
call the routine, in Excel 07, the menu goes into the Add-Ins tab of the
ribbon. If I Hide the ribbon with a different routine, the code does not
make this section visible. Here is a section of the code:

Dim myBar As CommandBar
'Dim SubItem As CommandBarButton
Dim myItem As CommandBarControl

On Error Resume Next 'In case it has already gone.
Application.CommandBars("Navigation_Bar").Delete
On Error GoTo 0

Set myBar = Application.CommandBars.Add(MenuBar:=True)
With myBar
.Name = "Navigation_Bar"
.Visible = True
'.Position=msoBarFloating
'Temporary:=True)
End With
'Add Menu Item
Set myItem = myBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
With myItem
.Caption = "Actions"
.BeginGroup = True
'    .FaceId = 334
End With

'First Sub Item
Set mySubItem = myItem.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With mySubItem
.Caption = "Load Components"
.OnAction = "Load_Components"
End With
Set mySubItem = myItem.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With mySubItem
.Caption = "Delete Navigation Bar"
.OnAction = "Delete_Navigation_Bar"
End With

What I would like is a clean menubar with only items in it that I created
like it works in 03. I would be open to another option, but hopefully not
the full Ribbon... It takes up too much room...

Not possible. The ribbon is not as configurable as the old commandbars. You
either have it all or nothing.

You can create your own group using XML, but it will still be part of a full
ribbon.
