Thus far, it seems that attempting to write the "Double Vision" toolbar in the Normal template always, eventually, causes both the multiple toolbar problem AND the travelling toolbar problem.
TestingHowardKaikowDoubleVision.zip now contains:
AttemptsToForcesDeleteTestingHowardKaikowDoubleVision.dot
DoesNotForceDeleteTestingHowardKaikowDoubleVision.dot
Clearly, there is at least a problem adding toolbars to the Normal template.
In order to wind down this thread, I suggest the following.
I will run both templates unchanged, using both MacroContainer and NormalTemplate, in Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.
I am hoping to satisfy myself that there is not a problem using MacroContainer, and that there is a problem using NormalTemplate, and in which Word versions.
It would be useful if at least, say, 3 others ran the same tests with unchanged code, for each version of Word. And posted their findings here.
P.S. I pulled out the hard coded "Test toolbar" and added code (not tested very well) to dynamically add the toolbar. This might help eliminate the 5852 error somebody encountered.
