At least three or four times a day, when I open two or more xl docs, the
tools disappear, leaving me only with file, edit etc.

The only way to get these back is to close the files amp; re-open them.

V frustrating.

Anyone else experienced this using dual monitors amp; anyone have an idea
of how to stop it?

Cheers,

View this thread: www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=503272I have 3 flat panel displays and have not experienced the problem
you describe. When this happens, can you go to the View menu,
choose Toolbars, and re-select the missing items?--

The only time I've seen this is when I have an XLS open, then I click on a link
in my browser which opens a web XLS in the browser. Somehow that seems to screw
up my Excel system.

You can turn the various tool bars back on manually, but I've always been wary
that something else may have been changed under the covers that I don't realize
so like you say, I shut down and restart.

The frustrating thing is that opening an XLS from the browser did not screw up
Excel in times past. Something changed.
