dk,

To have us figure that out, you would need to post all the code - macros, events, etc.

an excel add-in (which has a menu bar ) creates a spreadsheet. If a new
workbook is then opened, and then the someone goes back to the spreadsheet
created by the add-in, the add-in process which initially created the
spreadsheet attempts to create it a second time. Any idea what might be
causing the spreadsheet to re-run through processing when it is activated? It
only seems to happen the first time it is activated. After that the
recreation process does not happen.
