Excel 2003 won't save customized changes
I am trying to get Excel 2003 to save any changes I make to my toolbars, like
add different buttons and such, but they go away whenever I restart Excel. It just started happening. I checked and it seems like the XLB file is getting update. I even deleted the XLB file and let it recreate only to still have the same problem. Any ideas? Thanks. |

Do you have multiple *.xlb files--maybe one in XLStart where it doesn't belong.
It could be that you have a second file opening after the first one opens (with the correct toolbars). The second *.xlb file supersedes the first.

Excel 2003 won't save customized changes
I verified that there is only one .xlb file. I have tried deleting it and
letting Excel recreate. Still won't work. I can move the toolbars around and it will keep that setting, but when I drag a button to add to a toolbar (like Fill Down, or Fill Right), the button appears, then doesn't come back when I close Excel and come back in.

Sometimes those *.xlb files can be difficult to find.
I'd try this: close excel shell to DOS windows start button|Run cmd (windows 2k/xp) command (windows 98) At the DOS prompt: C: (to get to the C: drive) cd\ (to get to the root directory) dir *.xlb /s the /s means to search through subdirectories. Maybe you'll be able to see/delete/rename the files. Joe wrote: I verified that there is only one .xlb file. I have tried deleting it and letting Excel recreate. Still won't work.

I tried that and it still only comes up with the one file that it finds. Any
other ideas? "Dave Peterson" wrote: Sometimes those *.xlb files can be difficult to find.
