Microsoft just released an update to the VB Editor for the Mac 2016 version of Excel. New features include: - Edit and debugging toolbars. - Updated Project, Properties, Immediate, Watch,. You can access the VBA environment in Excel 2011 for Mac by opening the Visual Basic editor. First, be sure that the Developer tab is visible in the toolbar in Excel. The Developer tab is the toolbar that has the buttons to open the VBA editor and create Form Controls like buttons, checkboxes, etc.
The toolbars (menu bar and quick access bar) are missing in the Visual Basic Editor in Excel. What happened? I can't click anywhere to find them to enable again!

This sometimes happens if you leave the VBE open and the computer goes to sleep or hibernates. It's difficult to reproduce, but there's a simple fix -
Just close the VBE window and reopen it.I know, this is your default first troubleshooting step, but you forgot it in haste. It's OK, I won't tell anyone.
MS KB829059 talks about Outlook 2003 and 2007, but this applies across the entire Office Suite in 2003 and 2007.
