	' To remove the toolbar after execution of this macro, use the Customize Menu
	' option from the Tools menu.

	Dim currMenuGroup As acadMenuGroup
	Set currMenuGroup = ThisDrawing.Application.MenuGroups.Item(0)

	' Create the new toolbar
	Dim newToolBar As AcadToolbar
	Set newToolBar = currMenuGroup.Toolbars.Add("TestToolbar")

	' Add a button to the new toolbar
	Dim newButton As AcadToolbarItem
	Dim openMacro As String

	' Assign the macro string the VB equivalent of "ESC ESC _open "
	openMacro = Chr(3) & Chr(3) & Chr(95) & "open" & Chr(32)

	Set newButton = newToolBar.AddToolbarButton("", "NewButton", "Open a file.", openMacro)
