Excel - VBA Macro Not Found

J

I have a macro assigned to a toolbar button. Its asigned
with full reference (i.e. Workbookname!MacroName). When
user saves the workbook with a different name, it cann't
find the macro. What can I do so that its reference
is "Thisworkbook" or any other solutions...Thanks

I use something like this:

myCtrl.OnAction = ThisWorkbook.Name & "!MacroName"

If that doesn't work for you, you may want to copy and paste from your code. I
bet you don't really use: Workbookname!MacroName.

Hi, i had a similar question yesterday and Ian Ogilvy kindly donate
this information.

Hope it helps!

Here's the code!

applicaton.CommandBars("Custom1").Controls("ABCD").OnAction = "Macro1"

assuming macro1 is in the workbook where the above is run.

so you would set up a line for each control on you custom commandbar.

do it in the workbook_open event. It is often useful to have you code
actually build the commandbar.

Here is an article about creating commandbars with code:
