web toolbar keeps re-appearing

kennystringer · #1 12-20-2012, 11:23 PM

Hello excel masters, I salute you…

I have what I expect will be a simple question for you (tho it’s been driving me insane…

) Basically, how can I stop the @$##&*! web toolbar from continually switching itself on???? I have created excel worksheets that just fit my screen and when this damn toolbar keeps appearing it pushes part of the page off the screen. I switch it off, and a minute later it has switched itself back on. I don’t know about anyone else but this kind of thing makes me crazy!!!

Any help so very much appreciated! I have only just begun using excel and am therefore a complete newb, so please excuse my ignorance. Happy end of the world day to you all, and Happy Holidays!!

Kenny

Have you resolved your issue?

No I'm afraid I have not resolved this issue. I have a temporary solution by creating a macro/shortcut to just use ctrl + W to switch the web toolbar off, but I have to switch it off still every 5 minutes. At least I've managed to bypass the tedious process of having to use the main menu every time, but I'd still like to make it stop!!!!! Any suggestions?

I'm wondering if you might have a bug in your computer. I do not have XP to be able to recreate your problem. As a suggestion, PCHF has a good Security group of people who can, if nothing else, eliminate a bug as your problem.

If you're interested, this is where I'd go to be sure.

Reading the first two threads in the forum may help you decide if you want to post there.

Good Luck

P. S. - There is no cost in giving it a try. They are volunteers there, just like here.

My memory of this issue was that hyperlinks triggered the toolbar.

You are probably using .Visible = False

Try .Enabled = False

When you actually want it .Enabled = True

Hopefully you know some VBA

Code:

Public Sub BanishWebToolbar()
    CommandBars("Web").Enabled = False
End Sub


Sub RestoreWebToolbar()
    CommandBars("Web").Enabled = True
End Sub
