Could you explain how you use your personal.xls to
rebuild your commandbars?.
I handle the problem by keeping a back up of .XLB file in
another directory, but you comment has caught my
interest. I checked your web site but didn't find a
reference to this item.

TIA

Bob

ROTF!

I never rely on the XLB file, but make my personal.xls
rebuild my
customized commandbars every time Excel opens. More
reliable, and it
doesn't crash itself on the 1st of every month.

I don't know that the format of this file has been
made public - I admit I
have never tried to open it.
