## XL5: Can't Use Toolbar Button Name to Index Toolbar Buttons

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0

## SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel version 5.0, the Visual Basic Reference Help topic on the ToolbarButton Method incorrectly states that you can use the name of a button to index toolbar buttons. This information is incorrect. If you use the name of the toolbar button to index the button, you will receive the following error message:

> Run-time error '1004':
> ToolbarButtons method of Toolbar class failed.

To index a toolbar button, you must use the number of the button, not the name.

## MORE INFORMATION

To find the toolbar button's number, count the buttons (from left to right) on the toolbar that contains the button.
NOTE: Blank spaces between buttons count as one button.
To find the ToolbarButton Method Help topic, do the following:

1. From the Help menu, choose Contents, and select Programming with Visual Basic.
2. Choose Search, and type the following:

   > ToolbarButtons Method

3. Choose Show Topics, then choose Go To.
