Oops.
She can get to it via View|toolbars|customize, too. If that doesn't work, you can have her reset all her toolbars. close excel windows search search for *.xlb (in hidden folders for hidden files, too) Rename all the *.xlb files you find to *.xlbOLD Then restart excel and see if that helps. If it does, then rebuild any customized changes to the toolbar at your convenience. If it doesn't, then close excel and rename all those *.xlbOLD back to *.xlb.

Reinstall does not work. She totally removed all of Office and then
reinstalled it all. |

WIERD Excel Problem
I have never heard of this, but my buddy has and he suggests rather than
going in and fixing file extensions, you are likely better off to save your files to disc and then reformat the hard drive and install all of your programs again. This might take you an afternoon, but it may save you time in the long run and clean viruses that may be corrupting your file extensions.

I think I'd try some of those other suggestions before formatting my harddisk.

Hi """"BK"""""",
Use right-click on the toolbars then choose customize then you can follow Dave Peterson's directions. If you have exited Excel it will not do you any good to retrieve the .xlb file for what you are asking, unless there is an older version that got lost *and* is acceptable. Next time the toolbars are messed up look at http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel....htm#emergency which must be done as soon as the toolbars are messed up and without exiting from Excel. The toolbars file is one of the files you shoud be backing up http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/backup.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "BK" wrote in message oups.com...
