Default How to record macro with relative addressing in Excel 2000

Attempt to record a macro with relative addressing. I have R1C1 option
checked in Toolsoptionsgeneral. After recording a simple macro,
addressing is always absolute. I do not know how to program in visual basic.

On the Recording Toolbar there should be a Relative Reference toggle button.

I have read of this toolbar but there is no such toolbar that I recognize.

I have never used 2000 but in other versions, including 97, there is a "Stop
Recording" Toolbar that should pop up when you hit ToolsMacroRecord New
Macro.

You might have closed yours using the "X" when recording. This will stop it
from popping up.

Go to ToolsCustomizeToolbars and checkmark the Toolbar.

Now record a macro..............Toolbar should pop up.

Relative Reference button should be on it.

Do not close it using the "X"................use the square "stop" Icon.

Yes, that's it! It works. Why, why would Microsoft so thoroughly hide this
important function? Thank you.

MS did not hide the Toolbar.

You disabled it by closing with the "X"
