From: Prof Wonmug on 30 Apr 2010 11:27 I have two add-in files (AddinA.xlam & AddinB.xlam). I decided to consolidate them into one file with several different modules. So, I moved all of the modules in AddinB to AddinA and deleted AddinB.xlam. Now, every time I open Excel, even with a new workbook, I get this error message: 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data \Microsoft\AddIns\AddinB.xlam' could not be found. ... I have searched all of the relevant workbooks, none of which are open when I get the error message, and cannot find the string "AddinB" anywhere. How do I get rid of this error message?

From: Gord Dibben on 30 Apr 2010 16:40 Are you asked if you want to delete it? Is AddinB still still checked in Tools>Add-ins? Uncheck it and answer Yes.

Nope >Is AddinB still still checked in Tools>Add-ins? > >Uncheck it and answer Yes. Thnak you. That did it. Problem solved. This is Excel 2007, so there's no Tools option. I tried the Add-In tab on the magical ribbon, but no joy. I guess that was too logical. Next, I tried File | Options | Add-Ins. At the top, under Active Add-Ins, AddinB was still listed. Of course, there is no check box to uncheck and no Delete option. That would be too easy. Then I noticed the Manage: box with Excel Add-ins and clicked Go. Finally, there is a list with checkboxes to uncheck. Uncheck the box and away it goes. Thanks for the tip. I wonder if the Microsoft developers get extra credit for making things arcanel If so, the Excel developers must all be billionaires. >Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP > >On Fri, 30 Apr 2010 09:01:53 -0700, Prof Wonmug <wonmug(a)e.mcc> wrote: > >>On Fri, 30 Apr 2010 16:39:08 +0100, "Peter T" <peter_t(a)discussions> >>wrote: >> >>>Do you have a reference to the old addin, Tools References, or some other >>>Link perhaps. >> >>Well, if I do, I can't find it.
