Thanks, Jim and everyone else that responded. I never thought of that
indicator as a toolbar but now it makes sense. I played around a bit
this is what I learned.

If you start recording and then click the "X" on the toolbar, the macro
continues to record but the tool bar is permanently turned off. (This
is probably how I lost it in the first place.)

If the tool bar is active but you are not recording (the filled-in
circle is gray) then click the "X", the tool bar is hidden until you
start recording at a later time.

Sorry, upon re-reading my post I kinda lead you in the wrong direction. You
need to close the toolbar using the X. What I meant to say was do not close
the toolbar using the X while recording as that is what make the toolbar go
away permanently. sorry for any confusion...

Click on Tools - Customize - Toolbars - Stop Recording
This should bring your toolbar back up. Don't click the X. That is what
removed the toolbar in the first place. Instead just record a macro (anything
will do) and click stop on the toolbar... This will hide the toolbar until
the next time you record a macro.

A little help please. When I launch, Record Macro, the indicator no
longer shows. In order to stop the recording, I need to access the
menu structure. Where to I turn the indicator on/off?

Thanks
