My app has a custom ribbon, developed and run in Excel 2007. Recently, one external user group upgraded to Excel 2010 and now when those users load the app, the opening code runs fine but they do not see the custom ribbon that normally loads after the initial VBA code runs.
I've found mention of Custom UI Editor's 2010 "part" but I'm confused because much of what was written seems to indicate that the ribbon should work fine in either 2007 or 2010 version (thus, is not a migration issue). I've also read that you only need to use UI14.xml part if you're creating a ribbon with Backstage functionality that's only avail. in 2010. There isn't much posted about folks not seeing the custom ribbon at all when going from Excel 2007 to 2010.
So, right now I'm wondering:
Do I need to have all of the ribbon code in BOTH the customUI.xml and customUI14.xml parts? (Seems too redundant)
Or, do I just need to add the namespace to UI14.xml part but keep all of existing ribbonX code in other part?
schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui
I'm trying to get a copy of Office 2010 installed for my direct use but don't have it yet to test myself.
Just looking for some initial guidance or maybe a link or two to related webpage(s) or post(s) so I can solve this ASAP.
