Making 2007 toolbars (or the like)

[Mel]

My 2003 add-ins work in 2007, but my menus appear under the Addins
tab. 'Any way to make this nicer in 2007? Can we add our own tabs or
toolbars in 2007? Can we add our own commands to the ribbon at all?

Any tips or leads on good reading for this, I'm all ears (or eyes).

Mel, turn this way would you?  I don't want you to feel we're talking
about you behind your back.  ;-)

John, don't you love it when you make a suggestion and they SNAP TO IT
like that?

If only now I can create macro that will make time for me to read the
book. <g>

It will be called SubRoundTuit or similar, right?

Sub StituteKnowledgeForEmptiness()

Sub SumeTheTaoOfRibbon()

Function AllyIlliterateNoMore()

Sub StantiateMyNeedForThisBook()
Show MyTask
Application.Confused.Me
Me.Hide
Unload MyJob
End Sub

Mel, you seem to be forgetting that .Me is a multi-threaded function.

This may also be because the .Confused object is not read-only, and should
have been set to msoCTrue as part of the initialization sub-routine.

The Me.Hide statement is usually counter productive, since a GUI without the
U isn't serviceable.

I would also suggest refreshing the MyJob app instead of unloading it. In
some cases you may be able to upgrade or update the app, but freeing up
memory by removing critical system apps often leads to major crashes.
