Absolute no reason for that discrepancy at all, assuming 'bVis = false' it's
exactly the same.
What error message do you get.

Maybe this might be of use to you, but be very careful not to leave user
stranded

Application.DisplayFullScreen = true/false ' read/write

Hi Peter,

This menu stuff can be confusing!

Why does your code work and the following does not?

CommandBars("Full Screen").Visible = False
