I confess I am slightly curious as to why Jim's idea might solve the
problem, or why your addition of DoEvents appears to help
Normally when a reference to FileB has been added to FileA, when FileA opens
FileB will automatically open (if not already open as it might be if an
installed Addin) assuming of course the fileB can be found. At least that's
how it works for me.

Jim. *Thanks for the reply!!
We thought we tried that, but we'll do it again. *We found a workaround
for
it. *If we add a line of code to the Workbook_Open event of the ADD-IN
(not
the spreadsheet), then everything works fine. *We just added a DoEvents
statement and that did it.
I think you're on to something regarding the add-in being opened whenExcel
opens. *We were trying to get away from each user having to individually
add
the add-in to their instance ofExcel.
Again, I think we have a workaround, but we're not exactly sure WHY it's
working.
Thanks again for your assistance!!

Load the add-in from *Tools (menu) | Add-Ins *by check marking the
add-in name.
If you do that the add-in will be opened whenExcelis opened.
That will probably eliminate yourcrashproblem.

I have a very challenging issue for you. *I have created a custom addin
that
contains common code that can be used across many workbooks. *I add a
reference to the addin in my workbook and the 1st time that it calls the
addin, things run fine. *If I then save the workbook, reopen and call
the
addin again,Excelcrashes. *My issue can be duplicated by doing the
following.
1) Close any other workbooks inExcel, so that you don't lose anything.
2) Create an addin with a single function ... say ...
* * * * * *Public Function ReturnString() as String
* * * * * * * * *ReturnString = "Test"
* * * * * *End Function
3) Save this addin locally
4) Create a new workbook
5) In the Visual Basic Editor, add a reference to this addin
6) Create a button on Sheet1 and *have it point to code that says ....
* * * * Range("A1").value = MyAddin.ReturnString
7) Save the workbook, click the button and everything works fine.
8) Now, delete the text from cell A1, save the workbook and closeExcel..
9) Reopen the workbook and click the button.
10) ObserveExcelcrash
Why is this happening?
Would anyone be willing to take this on? *It will take about 5-10
minutes to
duplicate. *It is killing my coworkers and me ... we can't figure it
out.
Thanks in advance,
