Can not do Add-Ins in Excel
When I pick "Tools", then "Add-Ins" in Excel (part of Office 2003), Excel
quits. I get: "Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It then asks if I want to "Recover and restart Misrosoft Office Excel." Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks, Joe |

Can not do Add-Ins in Excel
Hi Joseph
I think I try this first Post back if it is not working after that Reason: Maybe you have a corrupt or bloated xlb file *normal* size is < 30 kb. The .xlb file has all Toolbar customization in it. 1. Close Excel 2. Do a search for .xlb in Windows (Use: search hidden files and folders) 3. Rename or delete the .xlb file or files (In 2002 the name = Excel10.xlb) 4. Start Excel Deleting the file or renaming will do no harm to your system Excel will create a new file for you. (You lost your customization remember that) If you make your own toolbars or add buttons to the others this file is important (backup it so you can restore it -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Joseph A.

Ron,
Thanks for trying, but I couldn't find an XLB file. Used using windows explorer with options/view/show hidden files. Even went to someone elses computer and couldn't find it there either.

You "will" have an *.xlb file. Also in Folder OptionsView uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 5 Dec 2006 07:47:00 -0800, Joseph A.

Can not do Add-Ins in Excel
Okay, found and got rid of Excel11.xlb. Still no luck (add-ins don't work).
Excel did not create a new xlb file even after rebooting the computer. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Joseph You "will" have an *.xlb file.

Hi Joseph
Look in the HelpAbout Microsoft Excel menu and see if you have a disabled add-in in Disabled items -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Joseph A. Carter" wrote in message ...

Can not do Add-Ins in Excel
If you make a change (however trivial), you'll recreate the *.xlb file.
(I don't have a guess about the real problem, though.) Did you try Help|detect and repair? Or maybe reinstalling? Joseph A. Carter wrote: Okay, found and got rid of Excel11.xlb.
