You can call the HideToolBars subroutine in the Workbook Open
event to hide the toolbars.

Of course, you can the HideToolBars at any time in order to make them
invisible; I just mentioned the Workbook Open event because your initial
posting suggested you didn't want them to be seen when the workbook was
first opened.

When you want to display them again, run the ShowToolBars subroutine.
