Missing menus and toolbars
This is really a question as to why something happened, as thanks to
searching this Group I managed to sort the problem through some instructions I found from Gord Dibbon. The problem was that excel suddenly loaded with no menu bar at the top whatsoever. I resolved this as per found instructions in the Group using the immediate window but then I found that there were no tool bars available. I searched for and renamed all the .xlb files and this solved it. I am grateful at being able to have access to a facility such as this Group to solve the problem but can anyone advise as to how it could have happened in the first place. There was no programming going on with my colleague whom this happened to, and she has just been working very simple spreadsheets. If there could be a whole plethora of reasons it doesn't really matter but if there is something specifically likely to have caused it then I would welcome any advice.

Missing menus and toolbars
I have no idea why it happens (I don't recall it happening to me ever), but I've
read enough posts to know that it happens to others. So when I create my toolbar (or make changes to it), I'll back it up into a nice location. It doesn't explain why, but it only takes moments to get back to what I had before.
