Prevent automatic launch of Reviewing toolbar in Excel.

[Guest]

How do I prevent the apparently automatic launch of the Reviewing toolbar in
Excel?

Mike,

In the workbook open event, or the autoopen macro, of your personal.xls, use
the line:

Application.CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = False

This property is reset everytime that Excel closes, so you need to invoke it
everytime you start Excel.

The Reviewing toolbar in Excel pops up whenever you open a workbook that has
been emailed from within Excel "for review". There may be other ways to
make this happen too. If you do a File, Properties you'll see the custom
file properties that have been added that triggers this.

You can kill the added file properties manually or run the below macro to do
it. This macro is in my Personal and attached to a toolbar button for easy
access.

Sub KillReviewingCustProps()
Dim x As DocumentProperties
Dim Counter As Integer
Set x = ActiveWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties
For Counter = x.Count To 1 Step -1
If Left(x.Item(Counter).Name, 1) = "_" Then _
x.Item(Counter).Delete
Next
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
End Sub
