Ok, I appreciate everyone's replies. Ron, they look like great resources, I will look at them all, I am familiar with Resource Hacker but I am trying to avoid toolbars + bitmaps. Also, I do agree that pulldowns are the best way to go and that is what I have done.
SP, we both have the same ideas, we are developing a partial menu that will allow users to tap into all of the CAD resources we have with very few clicks and as effortless as possible. We are only developing one pulldown with all the macros we need, outside of that anyone can customize however they like.
At one point, I was talking to a friend about developing a VBA Project that would allow users to make a pullodown real easily, kind of like you can create a custom toolbar in AutoCAD real easily.
Andrea, in all due respect, I disagree. Every thing you are saying would be a problem if we were customizing The Acad.mns file but we are not. Our menu, is ourcompanyname.mns, it is not on local hard drives so no one can over write it and I got rid of the .mnu file as it is A, a waste and B. It can be loaded then overwrite other menus, so we are taking many precautions upfornt and this why I am asking you folks for input
Thanks everyone
Keep writing
Mark
