Orientation of custom toolbar

[ecrichlow]

I have created my own toolbar for PowerPoint. Works beautifully.

One problem.

When I run my VBA code manually, I get a nice, horizontal toolbar.
But when I save my code as a PowerPoint Add-In, install it and have it
run automatically, the toolbar comes up vertically, in the middle of
the screen, which is a really inconvenient place for it to be.

Is there some way I can force the toolbar to start up horizontally,
positioned next to or directly below the PowerPoint toolbar?

....Thanx...

Post the code you're using to create the toolbar, please.

Hi Eric,

Try setting the toolbar's height and width. Something like this should
work:

Set MyBar = CommandBars("TheToolbarsName")
MyBar.Position = msoBarTop
With MyBar
.Height = 31
.Width = 175
.Top = 90
.Left = 225
.Visible = True
End With

Thanks, Jim, that did the trick. Too bad it looks like I can't dock it
adjacent to PowerPoint's toolbar, though.
