Custom Toolbar Icons

[PJ]

I have several macro's that I use with Excel 2003. In order to differentiate
them I have created several custom icons. How do I get Excel to recognize
these toolbar icons? Is it possible. If so, where should I place the .ico
files.

Thank you

Hi PJ

Excel 2007 ?

You add them to the file with the Custom UI editor

There is a example how you can use your own icon in the XML
See the "Ribbon Tips" section after you know how the UI editor works

Thanks Ron. Will your suggestion work with Excel 2003?

I have Office 2002 and I don't know how to put in ico files but
I have made my own toolbar icons by assigning the operation,
usually a macro, to a toolbar. Then right click toolbar>

It's rather a primitive editor but I have made some images that
I find satisfactory.

James,

Thanks James. Other than creating icons using the limited editor in Excel,
do you know of a way that you can create icons with a different program and
somehow import them into Excel?
