Arne...

You're not heeding Bob's warning.
Uninstalling ALL addins may not be appreciated by your users
(thay may expect to have "Analysis Toolpak" loaded at all times)

The second one however is FAR worse...
I have over 60 addins listed in my addins list.
I would NOT be happy if your little procedure would start loading them
all.. <G

If you want to temporarily unload addins you MUST store the
previously loaded addins in a module level collection.

Then when your procedure is done you should restore THOSE addins
