macro's assigned to buttons on different networked machines withou
having to re-assign the macro's every time, it's getting annoying!

Use code to make the appropriate assignments.

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:
