Just deleted all EXD files - no help

Did a repair of Office - no help

Did a re-install per the Control panel - no help

Un-installed Office, searched for and re-deleted all EXD files, deleted
all temp files in application data and Windows, deleted traces of Office
still in Program Files and Application Data, deleted other programs I saw
in Control Panel that didn't belong or were not needed, rebooted, Prayed,
Offered wife to the computer gods, re-installed Office, did not do auto
updates, turned off auto updates to prevent any SP upgrades from
nstalling. - this worked!

The .EXD files are in the temp directory

C:\Documents and Settings\<username\Local Settings\Temp

as well as in this directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms

I found that deleting the RefEdit.exd from this second directory fixed
the problem (which first had plagued me for days).

There does seem to be a major control problem randomly occurring
associated with Excel 2003 SP3.

I have had this problem with both Treeview and Refedit.

Sometimes (but maybe not always) you can solve the problem by searching
for all .EXD files and deleting them.

Sometimes resetting up your profile solves it.

We need to get MSoft to take a look at this

Is anyone having trouble adding refedit controls to userforms after
upgrading 2003 to sp3? I have two pcs, as identical as I can keep
them, and one can not add refedit controls. I get a forms error when I
just click on the control and can not even add one to a form. Repairing
office did no good.

I've seen Bill Freund's posts, and know he is having refedit troubles
and he has not been able to resolve.

I'm wondering if the problem is more wide spread than we think.
