SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 97, if you close the Stop Recording toolbar while you are recording a macro, the next time you start recording, the Stop Recording toolbar does not appear.



RESOLUTION
If the Stop Recording toolbar does not appear when you begin recording a macro, display it (as the last steps) while you record the macro. To display the Stop Recording toolbar while you record the macro, follow these steps:  On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Stop Recording.

The Stop Recording toolbar appears. Perform any additional actions that you want to record in the macro. On the Stop Recording toolbar, click the Stop Recording button. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Macros. Click the macro name that you recorded and click Edit.  Delete the following line from the macro: Application.CommandBars("Stop Recording").Visible = True </li></ol>

NOTE: This line is recorded by displaying the Stop Recording toolbar in step 3 and must be deleted.
