Firefox like tabs in a toolbar for Excel 2003

I work with Excel a lot and I have to switch between different workbooks all the time. Sometimes I can have a lot of workbooks open and it's hard to remember which ones I have open and switch between em. One day I thought it would be nice to have firefox like tabs on the Excel toolbar that displays all of the workbooks that I have open and lets me easily switch between them. It's a very simple add-in for excel that displays the name of each workbook on a button and when you click it makes that workbook active. If you need to know how to install an add-in click here.
I wrote the add-in in Excel 2003 so it should work fine in 2003 . I've also tested it in Excel 2007 and it works but it creates the toolbar under it's own add-ins ribbon so it's not as convenient.I've shared this add-in with a few friends that fell in love with it, so I decided to post it so everyone can use. I've licensed it with the GNU license so feel free to edit it as you see fit.
Please feel free to email me any comments or questions that you may have about the add-in. Enjoy
