should do it.

What you need to do is open the foxuser.dbf again and browse it. Look for the record that contains your toolbar name in it. Any records that are custom toolbars can be copied to another resource file. Include this with the app and make sure it is used as the resource file. You can test by:

set resource to newresource
show window "mytoolbar"
