Hi All, and Happy New Year!

Returned to work today after a week off, and Excel won't launch. I'm
using Office XP (Excel 2002), and when I first launched the app this
morning it asked me to repair the add-in atpvbaen.xla. Since doing that
the app refuses to run. I tried moving the add-in to a root dir but
apparently it re-creates it in the add-in library upon start-up.

Any suggestions?
