RESOLUTION

To use toolbars that stored in the Excel5.xlb file, do the following:
  1. Start Microsoft Excel 97.
  2. On the File menu, click Open.
  3. Locate the Excel5.xlb file in the Windows folder and select it.
  4. Click Open.

    Microsoft Excel does not open a workbook but does load the toolbars into random access memory (RAM).
  5. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click the name of any toolbar you created in Microsoft Excel 5.0.
NOTE: If the Excel5.xlb file contains one of the built-in toolbars, the toolbar name that appears on the Toolbars menu is followed by an asterisk. For example, the Standard toolbar appears as Standard*.
