how do we get 2003 .xlb toolbars and custom macros to show in 07

I would drop the toolbar file and create that toolbar on the fly when excel

Remove error notification X7/M7=0 when one or both cell values are

If m7 is different from 0, then if x7 is 0, it won't cause an error.
(assuming that both cells contain numbers).

=if(m7=0,"",x7/m7)

or if x7 or m7 could contain text
=if(iserror(x7/m7),"",x7/m7)
