Why dont you get the automation add-in to open the XLA itself rather than
trying ti get Excel to do it for you?

Hi,

We have an automation add-in and a VBA add-in that depends on the
automation add-in and we just can't get the automation add-in to load
before the VBA add-in!!!

We've tried just about anyithing. Unloading them and loading them back
in (every time restarting Excel). Going to the registry, deleting the
OPEN* variables and then uploading the add-ins in the same correct
order again. Nothing works: they just switch back!!!

Is there a way to fix this problem? We are very desperate so any help
is appreciated!

Many thanks in advance!!!
