Default No menu bar or tool bar

Hi JAB

Try to rename your xlb file

1. Close Excel
2. Do a search for .xlb in Windows (Use: search hidden files and folders)
3. Rename or delete the .xlb file or files (In 2002 the name = Excel10.xlb)
4. Start Excel

Deleting the file or renaming will do no harm to your system
Excel will create a new file for you.
(You lost your customization remember that)
If you make your own toolbars or add buttons to the others
this file is important (backup it so you can restore it)

I do not remember what was going on when this happened, but one day my Excel
all of the sudden no longer had a tool bar or menu. I cannot even right
click in the cells to pull anything up. All I have basically is just the
grid in the worksheet, and I can type in them, just no formatting, etc. I
have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, and it continues to
come up this way. It is not one particular file, it is every file I open in
Excel. I am not sure if this is a glitch with my computer (the same files I
try to open on other computers in our network work just fine) or if this is
something in Excel that I need to correct. Any ideas?
