Hi Bill and Rob,

SORTED!

(But first, apologies to all for posting twice - two different access
points and didn't relaise that it was the same group. I'll post this
message to both threads, in case anyone else has the same problem and
doesn't realise that you guys have solved the problem.)

You were right. Deleting the reference in the file was all that was
needed.

It didn't work when I first tried it on Bill's advice - probably because
I made the change in the production environment? (Anyway, it crashed
Excel, as before, when I tried to reload it afer making the change
there.)

What I ended up doing was moving the latest version from the production
environment back to the development machine (fearing that it would crash
on the development machine, too, but finding that it didn't) and
deleting the reference there, before moving it back to the development
environment.

Worked a charm.

Thank you very much - I don't know what I or my client would have done
if we hadn't been able to fix this over the weekend!

Please contact me offline to arrange a complimentary copy of some
software that we're developing, Guys - as a quid pro quo for your help.
