Oh Wise Ones,
I have a workbook that needs a lot of screen area.
It was loading the "Web" toolbar when it opened. I have added code to
close/hide the toolbar but it is not working. What am I doing wrong?

Code in ThisWorkbook:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.CommandBars("ActiveFactory").Visible = False
Application.CommandBars("Web").Visible = False
End Sub


Thanks,
Mike

I have seen circumstances in which Excel doesn't quite have itself
completely together when the Workbook_Open event runs. You might try using a
macro named Auto_Open (in a regular code module, not the ThisWorkbook
module) instead of Workbook_Open. Auto_Open runs later than Workbook_Open,
and Excel has itself put together by the time Auto_Open is called.

Also, you might want to consider changing to full screen mode. This hides
everything except the menu bar, the sheet tabs, and the scroll bars.

Application.DisplayFullScreen = True ' False to reset
