Do your custom toolbars share toolbar names and ID's with standard acad
toolbars? That would be bad. You can try deleting the mnc and allow it to
recompile. Do you have full read/write access to the folder the menus are
in? If the MNC is read only, it won't update - also common for people
working on menus at home then bringing them to work on a CD.

Greg,

As I recall well the first value is the Y-coordinate relative to the upper left corner. The second value is the X-coordinate.

Think you'll find you need to delete the .mnr file as well?
mnc = menu compiled ?
mnr = menu resources ?

cheers

No need. The MNR is only to be deleted when you want to RELOAD the bitmap-info. This is sometimes needed when you changed the
bitmap-image of a button.
BTW: I NEVER change any menu using AutoCAD (command TOOLBAR). I always edit the MNS file using an ordinary TextEditor. I also give
the bitmap names instead of ICONxxxx names.

I also edit my mns and explicitly name my bitmaps but have found that
deleting the mnr file seems to help when I move toolbars around and want
changes to stay put.

Strange, since there is (or sould I say: should be) no connection between location of toolbars (registry) and bitmaps (MNR)
