XL2000: Default Toolbars and Toolbar Buttons Seen Instead of Customizations

• Microsoft Excel 2000

SYMPTOMS

If the Microsoft Excel toolbar file (Excel.xlb) becomes damaged, or is deleted or moved from its original location, you may see the following behavior:

• Toolbars and toolbar buttons that you created no longer appear.



• Changes that you made to toolbars and toolbar buttons no longer appear.



• The default toolbars and toolbar buttons appear.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if the custom toolbar file is damaged or missing.

Excel stores information about custom toolbars in the Excel toolbar file. If the toolbar file is not located in its installed location when you close Microsoft Excel, Excel creates the file with the default information or any new customizations you made while Excel was running.

MORE INFORMATION

If you are using Windows 98, the Excel.xlb file is stored in the following folder:

c:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel

c:\Winnt\profiles\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel
