Maybe I should have been more specific about that second question. What I
mean is...I have the code for the toolbar add-in (from the MSDN
article)...that's one class. Then, I have the form. When I click the button
on the toolbar, the form is displayed. I'd like to be able to grey-out the
button on the toolbar while the form is shown to the user. However, the
button is defined in the add-in class, not the form, and it's not accessible
from the form that I can tell. Is there something else basic I'm missing
here? I've tried calling it Public in the add-in, and even creating a module
to try to just be a programming slob and make it global. Neither worked.
There's got to be a simple technique I'm not remembering.
Thanks again
