Maybe i should add that i am using Office 2000 Pro. I am also purchasing
Office 2003 Pro if this problem is not solved should i install over office 2000 and will the same problem arise in office 2003? Or should i uninstall Office 2000 first (including root files)?

Is this the line you used?
Application.Commandbars(1).Enabled = True (Did you copy and paste or did you type it in. I'm guessing a typo error. I'd try again!)

ok so there may have been a typo. but this time i copied and pasted. no error
pop up. But still no File, Edit. etc. I pressed return and it just moved the curser down. to the next line in the editor. What am i doing wrong? I have even tried reinstalling after taking all trace of office off my machine but the same thing happens it starts up with no command bar buttons. Is my pc doomed never to run office again?? what will happen when i install office 2003? (beginning to sob again) "Dave Peterson" wrote: Is this the line you used?

It might be easier to just destroy the existing *.xlb file (where excel stores
customizations) and recreate it at your leisure. Close excel windows start button|search| look for *.xlb (remember to look in hidden folders, too!) If you want, rename all you find to *.xlbOLD (just in case). Then restart excel. If it worked ok, delete those *.xlbOLD files. If it didn't work ok, close excel and rename them back to *.xlb (no harm, no foul). Rick, United Kingdom wrote: ok so there may have been a typo. but this time i copied and pasted. no error pop up.

I had exactly the same problem and destroying the xlb was the solution.
