Can I attach a toolbar to an add-in?

I need to deploy my .xla file to all in my department.

I have created macros and a toolbar with buttons pointing
to the macros... and saved as "my macros.xls".

When I save the file as "my macros.xla", the toolbar which
was attached remains attached to the "my macros.xls"...
thus the .xla IS NOT SELF-CONTAINED.

It does not appear that I can open the .xla file in order
to attach the toolbar.

Thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

instead of attaching your toolbar, create it with code in your xla. At that
time you can assign your macros and they will point to the xla.


Here is an article about creating commandbars with code:

I guess as an alternative, you could attach your toolbar and then have you
code go through and assign the correct macro to the onaction property of
each control. This would be done in the open event of the XLA so it occurs
when the XLA is loaded.
