I've been fiddling and learning all about the wonders of VBA recently and have been loving it, right up until I came across the concept of hiding toolbars etc.

I've managed to lose the ability to right click in excel which was kind of what I was trying to do but I've done it a bit too permanently and can't get that feature back!

Using the following code, I can run this macro manually and get my right click back but as soon as I close the workbook (Saving it) and try to reopen any workbook or new blank book, I go back to having no right click functionality :confused:

The thing that is really getting to me is that my workbook_open() (or Auto_open / workbook_activate) scripts no longer work either, even just a simple msgbox doesn't appear so I really have no idea how this is happening?!

Edit: The workbook_open is now working so I can sort it that way but at the moment there still seems to be a mischievous bit of code or a setting somewhere as even if I open up Excel with a new workbook I can't right click... And its Excel 2013 Im using

Code:
[COLOR=#333333]With Application[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333].DisplayFormulaBar = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333].CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("Tools").Controls("Options...").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333].CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("View").Controls("Formula Bar").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333].CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("View").Controls("Toolbars").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333].CommandBars("Toolbar List").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333].CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("Tools").Controls("Customize...").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("File").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("Edit").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("View").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("Insert").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("Format").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("Tools").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("Data").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("Window").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars("Help").Enabled = True[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]For Each a In Application.CommandBars[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Application.CommandBars(a.Name).Enabled = True[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#333333]Next[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]End With[/COLOR]

The only other code I've got is in a module and I'm 99.9% sure that that can't be affecting it...

Code:
Sub Linktoworksheets()Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
'Add sheet links
    Range("B3:B1000").ClearContents
    Range("B3").Select
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If ActiveSheet.Name <> sh.Name Then
        ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:= _
        "'" & sh.Name & "'" & "!B3", TextToDisplay:=sh.Name
        ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
    End If
Next sh
End Sub


Sub SortSheets()


'Sort sheets alphanumerically


   For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
      For j = 1 To Sheets.Count - 1


            If UCase$(Sheets(j).Name) < UCase$(Sheets(j + 1).Name) Then
               Sheets(j).Move After:=Sheets(j + 1)
            End If
         
      Next j
   Next i
End Sub


Sub NewSheet()
    Sheets("Template").Select
    Sheets("Template").Copy Before:=Sheets(3)
End Sub

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Hello and welcome to the board!

Maybe "Reset" like so:

Code:
Public Sub Test()

'Reset CommandBars individually
Application.CommandBars("Edit").Reset

'Reset all CommandBars
Dim oCommandBar As CommandBar

For Each oCommandBar In Application.CommandBars
    If oCommandBar.BuiltIn Then
        Debug.Print oCommandBar.Name
        oCommandBar.Reset
    End If
Next oCommandBar

End Sub

Thanks, I ended up deleting one of the registry files (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office|14.0\Excel\Options if anyone has this issue in the future) and that sorted it for me. Was so strange that I just could not get it to reset through excel :eeek:
