Creating toolbar that all user can select..

[hardwired]

Hi,

I have designed a whole toolbox of vba programs and various lisp routines for our office and want to create a button toolbar which all users on our network can use or install or whatever..

Now, is this done by manually creating my own one and exporting the partial cui file for others to import?

.....or is it better done with vba and have a routine that everytime the user boots autocad it runs this program and adds the toolbar?

I would export the partial CUI.

He did not mention wanting any icons for his buttons.

Fair comment AGM, but then I would have thought that reading "want to create a button toolbar which all users on our network can use or" would indicate some form of icons involved and the shareability of these?

Yes, icons are required so can't i hardcode the path to the images and have these icons on a specific drive on our server, so everyone's icons will be the same and if they are updated, they all update together?

Touche, Blue

But, he offered 2 options, I mentioned the one I preferred, if he does not know how to also include the icons, then he will ask. I also would not have provided the instructions for the other option.

That is what I would suggest, also.
