Control toolbox has vanished

I am having a really bizarre problem. Basically, I can not use the control
toolbox within the visual basic toolbar in excel. I click on the button and
nothing happens. I have tried to use the intermediate window to show it
just incase I 'missplaced' it - but nothing happened. Interestingly, I can
take a control from word and then copy and paste it into Excel (although not
too sure if it will work when code it put in etc - but the main point is
that the control toolbox works in word). Has anyone else ever come accross
this problem? BTW, I am using excel 2000.

Do you mean the toolbar you see within the VBE?


Saved from a previous post:

I had a similar problem a little while ago. The toolbox would appear, but all
the icons were missing.


I got this message from Rob Bovey:

> With Excel shut down, search your hard disk(s) for a file called
> Excel.box (it's the VBE toolbox equivalent of an Excel .xlb file). Delete it
> and then restart Excel. That may do the trick.


And this message from Tom Ogilvy:

> It appears to be just a special multipage control.
>
> If you right click above the tabs, you get a shortcut menu that allows you
> to add and delete pages.
>
> If you right click on one of the tabs, you get the additional controls popup
> menu. Select that and just click the controls you want on the tab/page.


I believe I did a little of Tom's suggestion, until I broke down and just did
them all at once with Rob's suggestion.

(It scared the heck out of me!)

You may want to rename excel.box to excel.boxOLD--just in case this doesn't help
and you want to get it back.
