Excel taskbar
 

Hi everybody,

I created my personal toolbar which I want to backup.
I'm using Excel 97 on a Win2000 OS.

I know that the file C:\WINNT\username8.xlb is the file for the
taskbar which I have to backup.

Now I have following problem. How do I get Excel to update this file
after I made changes to my toolbar.

I closed Excel and restarted it again but the changes were gone.

Thanks for any help.

How do I get Excel to update this file after I made changes to my toolbar

It's automatic. Excel saves the current menu/toolbar configuration in your
XLB file when you exit Excel automatically. The Knowledgebase articles I've
seen suggest that a corrupted XLB file can cause customizations not to
reload. You can test this idea by once again creating your customizations
in Excel and deleting your XLB before closing Excel. You should see a new
XLB after that. Does it load when you restart Excel?
