Missing Recording Macro Indicator
A little help please. When I launch, Record Macro, the indicator no
longer shows. In order to stop the recording, I need to access the menu structure. Where to I turn the indicator on/off? Thanks - John |

Missing Recording Macro Indicator
You know, I did that same thing (killed that poor little window) and never
figured out how to get it back! I've just been living with it, since I don't record macros all that often, but I'm going to sit right here until someone answers your question! :) "John Michl" wrote: A little help please.

Missing Recording Macro Indicator
After you start recording, right-click on the toolbar and select Stop
Recording from the list. Unfortunately, this action will also be recorded in your macro, so you'll have to delete that line when you're done recording. But after that, I think it will show each time you start recording. Or, you could just display the Visual Basic toolbar and use it to start and stop recording..

You can always stop recording by going tools-macro-stop recording the button toggles between start and stop recording depending on what state you're in. if you've killed your toolbar you can bring it back by recording a macro, then when you can't see your stop recording box right click on the taskbar and check the box beside "stop recording" it should appear -- MDubbelboer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MDubbelboer's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36330 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=562476 |

Click on Tools - Customize - Toolbars - Stop Recording
This should bring your toolbar back up. Don't click the X. That is what removed the toolbar in the first place. Instead just record a macro (anything will do) and click stop on the toolbar... This will hide the toolbar until the next time you record a macro. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "John Michl" wrote: A little help please. When I launch, Record Macro, the indicator no longer shows.

Missing Recording Macro Indicator
Sorry, upon re-reading my post I kinda lead you in the wrong direction. You
need to close the toolbar using the X. What I meant to say was do not close the toolbar using the X while recording as that is what make the toolbar go away permanently. sorry for any confusion... -- HTH...

Thanks, Jim and everyone else that responded. I never thought of that
indicator as a toolbar but now it makes sense. I played around a bit this is what I learned. If you start recording and then click the "X" on the toolbar, the macro continues to record but the tool bar is permanently turned off. (This is probably how I lost it in the first place.) If the tool bar is active but you are not recording (the filled-in circle is gray) then click the "X", the tool bar is hidden until you start recording at a later time. - John Jim Thomlinson wrote: Sorry, upon re-reading my post I kinda lead you in the wrong direction.

I see, the reason the "Stop Recording" option didn't appear in the toolbars
menu was because I wasn't recording! I did find that toolbar in the "customize" option but when I checked the checkbox I didn't see the toolbar. You know why? The little bugger came up on my other monitor (I have two) from the last time I was editing VBA over there! :) "MDubbelboer" wrote: You can always stop recording by going tools-macro-stop recording the button toggles between start and stop recording depending on what state you're in. if you've killed your toolbar you can bring it back by recording a macro, then when you can't see your stop recording box right click on the taskbar and check the box beside "stop recording" it should appear -- MDubbelboer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MDubbelboer's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36330 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=562476 |
