Add-ins not loading
excel2003
I use some add-ins from other users ( from net ) They work great but (one main used one) will not "auto load" even though I have it check marked on the add-in list. I also just made up two add-ins myself. Works great on my computer. Went to install them on other computers. Set Macros to "medium". Opened add-in on other computer. Saved as add-in Check marked the new add-in Closed Excel Opened Excel - Menu item does NOT auto-load. OPEN .xla file and it Does add in new menu. I shortly need to send these add-ins to our international salemen, so I'm trying to get all the bugs out by trying installs on different computers in house. Am I overlooking an installation step? Thanks in advance. -- John F. Scholten |

Not that what you're doing shouldn't work but when it comes to my add-ins I
don't bother with Tools, Add-ins. I just put them in my XLSTART folder along with my Personal.xls. I've never had a problem with this as they all get opened and the auto macros run.

I also just made up two add-ins myself. Works great on my computer. Went to install them on other computers. Set Macros to "medium". Add-ins ignore security settings. It is assumed they are OK. Opened add-in on other computer. How did you open? Saved as add-in How did you save as add-in? Create a workbook with the macros then Save AsFile TypeMicrosoft Excel Add-in(*.xla). Scroll to bottom of file type list box to find it. Check marked the new add-in Closed Excel Opened Excel - Menu item does NOT auto-load. OPEN .xla file and it Does add in new menu. Might still think it is a workbook if not saved properly. Can't just change the .XLS to to .XLA and make it an add-in. See above for saving as add-in.
