MS Project Quick Access Toolbar Macro buttons disappear

Question

I have created a macro and it works fine

I have customised the quick access toolbar and added the macro button For that project file great

Everything looks good and works fine

If I close and open the project file the button remains on the Quick Access toolbar

But if I save the Project file and close the file, when I re-open the file the button is gone.  The macro is there but the button is gone?

If I customise the quick access toolbar and added the macro button For all documents (default)

I can save and close the Project file and the buttons do not disappear and everything looks good and works fine

But I can to customise the Quick Access Coolbar For that project file not For all documents

Why do I lose the buttons if I save and close?

I can reproduce this error in Project 2010 or Project 2016

Any help would be appreciated as I have to eventually add 20+ buttons and don't want to lose them each time

Answer 1

I use VBA to create my macro buttons. That way I can display buttons for the active project only or for all macros in my Global.mpt file.
