Hi,

I am on the latest version.

Each time I design a Command bar , the controls are losing their position.
Basically I cannot ceate any usefull toolbar as after some time the controls are losing their position.

Very frustrating.

1. I am on Version 6.4 Release (build 3054)
2. It Office 2003
3. How can I send you the screen shot?
4. OS = Vista
5. This happens with all my Menues and Command bars

This is so frustrating. I lost hours of my time.
I had similar issues with the Ribbon and really think this needs more testing....

Hi Andreas,

You can upload images to any image hosting server and then paste links using the IMG tag here. Also you can send them to the support e-mail address (see readme.txt for details).

The wost of all is that I am losing some command buttons.

- So you see them in the designer, but you dont see them in Excel
- So you see them in the designer in the right oder, but in Excel they have the wrong order

How can I reset the data so that you ceate the tool bars from the scratch?

If we dont find a resonable workaround I will rether progma the toolbards myselfe
(not what I bought the product for :(

Hi Andreas,

Are you able to reproduce the issue with a newly created add-in project? If so, could you please send it to the support e-mail address with detailed instruction set how to reproduce the issue?

I don't have the time to waste more hours on writing some repro scripts.

As a owner of the Premium Edition I need somebody directly looking on my issue

Hi Andreas,

If you use non-temporary command bars and controls, I would recommend unregistering and then registering your add-in anew every time you change something (delete controls, change order of controls) in your non-temporary command bars.

Or you can use another approach: unregister your add-in, set the Temporary property of your command bar to True, register your add-in and design your command bar until it is finished. After that unregister your add-in, set the Temporary property to False and your command bar is ready.
