Default Empty toolbars

Yep. Thanks very much. This is how I corrected the problem.

I actually figured it out myself from Microsoft's website. Yesterday when I
did a search I used "toolbars" and didn't find what I was looking for. This
morning I tried "pop-up menus" and found an article that helped me.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the unnecessary post.

Menu customizations are stored in your *.xlb file. It usually is named
excel.xlb. I am using xl2000 and it is in C:\Documents and
Settings\ogilvtw\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel

If you rename this to something like ExcelOld.Old or move it somewhere

else,
you should get the default menus. If you then customize these, a new xlb
file will be created.

In xl97, the file was located in the windows subdirectory. It might be
named UserId.xlb (your userid).

I created a VBA macro that deleted every item in every one of my

toolbars.
Obviously, that's not what I wanted it to do and I've reset all he

standard
toolbars provided with Excel. However, now when I try to bring up the
'right-click' menu bar; it comes up but there are no commands in it.

All
I
get is a blank grey box. It's the pop-up menu minus any commands.

I've tried repairing my Office installation, I've uninstalled and
reinstalled with no success at retrieving the pop-ups. I even tried
rebuilding them manually using the Customize option for Excel toolbars

but
the pop-ups can't be modified in the same way that all the others are.

Can somebody help me fix my screw up?
