The problem is that by default i need to place the toolbars docked on the top...i can't place them side by side because the buttons would extend off the screen. I need to be able to programmatically dock the toolbars one on top and the other below. I can do it with the mouse after they load but not with out the mouse.

> I think you have to adjust the last parameter (nY) accordingly. My observation seems to tell me that in this case, nY is 8 raised to the power of the number set of the toolbar. So if you have a third toolbar set, you can use MyToolBar3.Dock(0,0,48) to place the toolbars one on top of the other.
