I have the same issue as in Michael's case, but I am not able to get it back
with the suggestion of right clicking on the tool bar. When I right click it
shows the "stop recording" already ck, but I can not find the box. Also when
I record, the word recording does appear in the lower left side of the frame
of excel, so I know I am recording, but I can't get the little control box to
show up so I can click on relevancy when I want to stop recording.

ToolsCustomizeToolbars.

Select the Stop Recording Toolbar.

Start Recording a macro then hit the Stop button.

DO NOT hit the "x" to stop or you will lose the Toolbar again.

Yes, I have tried "reset" on the toolbar. All I aget is the "recording"
under sheet 1 tab.

Have you tried ToolsCustomizeToolbars and Reset on the SR toolbar?

I have even uninstalled my entire msoffice pkg and reinstalled.

I cannot replicate the behaviour of your SR toolbar unless I close it using the
"x" while recording.

And even then, I can get it back using the steps I outlined in my original post.

Hopefully someone will jump in with a fix.

Thanks so much for you time and trying to resolve this. I can not figure out
why I can not get it back. I may have closed it, but I should be able to get
it back, by following your sugguestions and others before. I have ck'ed
every setting and reset every possible setting with toolbars. I really
thought a re install would fix it, and I even ran my "fix errors" from my
add/remove programs.
Again thanks for your time.

One more to try.

ALT + F11 to open Visual Basic Editor

ViewImmediate Window.

Paste this code in and hit ENTER key.

Application.CommandBars("Stop Recording").Visible = True

ALT + Q to go back to Excel.
