Deleting a toolbar button

[Harry-Wishes]

I created a toolbar with a couple of buttons associated with a template. What
I would like to do is programmatically have the button do what I instructed
when it is clicked but also have the button self-destruct for lack of a
better term. Essentially, the clicking would have a dual purpose in this
order.

1) Run the script I attached to the button.
2) Delete this very button that launched the script.

In case you're wondering why I would want to do this, I only want the user
to run the script once. Double excecution would be disastrous for the program
I'm designing - trust me. At least this will make it harder to re-run the
script since techically-speaking the script is still available, just not as a
button.

Can this be done? Here is what I have so far.

Dim ctlToggle As Office.CommandBarButton
Set ctlToggle = CommandBars("Letter_Toolbar").Controls(1)

A different approach would be to have your code check for the value of a
variable in the document and only run the code if it does not exist. You
will get a 5825 error if the variable does not exist.
