Maybe i should add that i am using Office 2000 Pro. I am also purchasing
Office 2003 Pro if this problem is not solved should i install over office
2000 and will the same problem arise in office 2003?
Or should i uninstall Office 2000 first (including root files)?

No just the Application line.

Is this the line you used?
Application.Commandbars(1).Enabled = True
(Did you copy and paste or did you type it in. I'm guessing a typo error. I'd
try again!)

ok so there may have been a typo. but this time i copied and pasted. no error
pop up. But still no File, Edit. etc. I pressed return and it just moved the
curser down. to the next line in the editor.
What am i doing wrong? I have even tried reinstalling after taking all trace
of office off my machine but the same thing happens it starts up with no
command bar buttons. Is my pc doomed never to run office again?? what will
happen when i install office 2003? (beginning to sob again)

It might be easier to just destroy the existing *.xlb file (where excel stores
customizations) and recreate it at your leisure.
Close excel
windows start button|search|
look for *.xlb
(remember to look in hidden folders, too!)
If you want, rename all you find to *.xlbOLD (just in case).
Then restart excel.
If it worked ok, delete those *.xlbOLD files.
If it didn't work ok, close excel and rename them back to *.xlb (no harm, no
foul).

I had exactly the same problem and destroying the xlb was the solution.
Thank you very much Dave
