Custom menu keeps reverting back to old code

[cookieboy66]

I've written some code to add a custom menu to MS Word with a whole lot of frequently used templates. This was working fine but some of the templates were updated and the filenames changed. So I updated the code that adds the menu (and added some additional templates), only now when I open Word the old menu is there. The code for the menu was taken from another website and adapted to suit. Can anyone help me change the code so that the menu stays consistent.

I've saved the file with the code as a template and put it in the start up folder so it runs as an add in.

The code is:
Sub AddMenuBar()

Dim Mybar As CommandBar
Dim cmd As CommandBarPopup
Dim i As Integer
Dim A(35) As Variant
Dim myButton
CustomizationContext = Application.NormalTemplate
' CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate

Since you didn't delete the menu on close you can always manually delete the old menu.

this appears to be 2003 or before so just right click on any menu bar and select customize. Then drag the C&ooke menu from the toolbar to the dialog box to remove it.

I tried your code and it added the menu. I then changed the array number to
Dim A(34) As Variant
and commented the last line...ie:
A(35) = Array("VAV quote", "VAV_quote", 0)
I ran the code again and the old menu seemed to be deleted as implied in this line in the beginning of your code:
CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("C&ooke").Delete
and the new menu was created minus the last item....the one I commented out.

Lucas, thanks for your response. I tried removing the menu manually in a new document as well as in normal.dot, but both times the old menu came back.

Any other suggestions?

Did you open word then go to file-open and open the file in the startup directory so that it actually says yourtemplate.dot at the top of word and remove it there?

Make sure you that the temp and recovery files that Word creates go away when you close the template or document you're working with. They always start with a tilde (~).
