I'm using 2010, haven't tried in 2007. Jesse I just use

insertBeforeMso=”TabHome”

in the XML, makes it the first ribbon and it’s open automatically on any workbook open and requires no code. I’m using 2010, haven’t tried in 2007.

It works as a standalone macro, but when I link it to Workbook_Open, it doesn't run. I have put the Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02")) before the SendKeys, but it still doesn't want to run as part of the Workbook_Open. So near yet so far! Still exploring what could be causing the stoppage! I used AJ’s approach and used Application.Sendkeys “%G{ESC}{ESC}” (“G” is the keytip for my custom ribbon tab).

Re question 1, I use the CustomUI Editor. You can find a link to it <a href="http://www.excelguru.ca/blog/2006/12/01/ribbon-example-table-of-contents/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I still wouldn't say it's efficient, but it's the best tool out there that I've found. (That is not saying it is perfect, in fact, far from it.) Re Question 2, you don't. If you use startFromScratch, you basically need to rebuild the MSO tabs that you do want. Ridiculous, IMO, but the way it is. I believe I did log a bug about the getVisible on msoTabs when startFromScratch is true, so hopefully it gets addressed at some point. Hi Dovy,

My observation is that KeyTip behaves differently between manual operation and code. 1. Manually: use ALT+KeyTip, execution waits until last character is keyed 2. Code: executions happens once there is unique match I noticed that when my KeyTip had 2 or 3 chars (beginning with Z), it worked with a beep. When I used only 1 char (Z), there was no beep. I tried KeyTip of “ZMN” and a button assigned with SendKeys “Z”, it worked with beep. My conclusion is that when run from code, the program responded to the first char (Z) because it was unique match, and then complained about the extra characters (MN) with a beep. To verify, I tried a KeyTip of “YM”, and now it worked without a beep. I started with “Y” because my other custom tabs, to which I did not assigned KeyTips, default to Yn. Thanks Dovy I finally was able to get rid of the beep.
