Guess #1: You might have two *.xlb files fighting it out.

I'd close excel and search for *.xlb
(windows start button|search--be sure to look through hidden folders and for
hidden files).

If you have more than one, move them all to a different folder.

Then find out where your *.xlb should be stored.
For me, it's:
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel

One way to do this is to start excel and make a minor modification to one of the
toolbars. Then leave excel and search for that newly created *.xlb file.

Then move all those *.xlb files into that folder -- one at a time and restart
excel.

When you find the toolbars you like, you have the correct *.xlb in the correct
spot. Delete all the others.

And back up that *.xlb file. If you ever screw it up, you can copy your backup
into that location.

I have a new install of Microsoft Office 2003. I have certain toolbar
buttons that I use in every worksheet that I create. Each time I add a new
button, close and then re-open Excel, my toolbar buttons that I added
disappear. Is there any way I can keep them and use them with every
worksheet I open?
