Hi all

the Open macro is real useful and I use it to remove the
toolbars/command bars on my workbooks (Restoring the four basic ones
using the Close macro)

I have written code such as

Application.CommandBars("Standard").Visible = False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting").Visible = False
Application.CommandBars("Chart").Visible = False
Application.CommandBars("Control Toolbox").Visible = False

etc

within this Open macro

is there a more efficient way to remove all Toolbars as on some versions
of Excel 2003 there are different and more toolbars to Excel 97

TIA

matt
