I know this is likely to be a dumb question but for all my searching I
cannot find an answer.

You can open a project (in my case one of my excel add-in files) by
double clicking on it - and the filename will be added to the Project
Explorer window in VB, along with all it's modules etc. But how do
you go about closing that add-in file once it is open? The only way I
found was to (save changes to all the other open projects, and) close
excel entirely, then open it again.

Another way I found was to find "ThisWorkbook" and change the
"IsAddin" property to FALSE, which opens the workbook in excel which I
can then close.

Is there an easier way to close a project?


Partial answer from one with limited experience: In xl2010, go Developer
Group Add-ins and de-select the addin in question. I think that closes
the add-in.
