Are your toolbars Really docked? They may look docked, but are they really?
Try moving them up a bit. By any chance does this happen after a save or
autosave?

Thanks Bob:
They are docked good.
Does not happen after save or autosave.
I read something about this being a Tiger bug, in a Mac magazine, but did
not understand the fix.

Bob:
I mean you can move the toolbars around if you want. So maybe I'm not sure
what you mean then by being docked.

By being docked, I mean do they "snap" into position.

It sets the Standard and Formula toolbar location to the top dock, then

Toolbar prefs in XL are stored in that toolbar preference file. If you
have custom toolbars, deleting that file will get rid of them. Trashing
the file is not necessary, in any case. >> Stay informed about: Window hiding behind the toolbars |

JE:
You know, my toolbars really seemed docked fine to be honest. So why these
workbooks are jumping behind it, maybe it's something else?

Dunno - are you switching monitor resolutions?
A bug in XL04 allows you to manually position workbooks behind the
toolbars - could that be what's happening? Repositioning the window,
saving, then quitting XL should solve that.
There have been other reports of windows positioning themselves behind
toolbars, but docking the toolbars has solved it for most people, AFAIK. >> Stay informed about: Window hiding behind the toolbars |

JE:
No, no switching anything--resolution wise.
I put the file in Excel , start up items, in apps folder.
Got this error:
"run time error 21447483640 (-7FFFFF8)
Method "position" of object "commandBar failed"
And the workbook that opens up with each launch now goes behind the tools
bars -- which look locked to me.
So this is a real beast here.
