Commandbars are a collection within the Application object. Normally, when
working within VBA in an Excel application, you don't need the Application
object qualifier, but many posts have reported problems with commandbars
that have been solved by using Application.Commandbars.
As for Activeworkbook.Commandbars, never seen that one, doesn 't seem to
work for me.
Excel.Commandbars is just the same as Application.Commandbars, except you
can't use it in Word?
