Default Error Message When Opening Excel

Everytime i open Excel or an Excel document, i get the following error message:

"SUMIF.XLA is already open. Reopening will cause any change you made to be
discarded. Do you want to reopen SUMIF.XLA?"

Whether i answer YES or NO, the application will open normally. It is just
very annouying.. HELP

You could try looking under ToolsAdd ins... and then uncheck anything, then
check back those that were checked one at a time, close and re-open excel,
when the error comes back, that's the faulty add-in, either go to the vendor
or unload the add-in if you don't need it

It could be a couple of things, but I'd look to see if you have sumif.xla in
your XLStart folder and check to see if the Sumif wizard is checked under
Tools|Addins.

If you have it in both spots, I'd keep the tools|addins version and move the
Sumif.xla from the XLStart folder.

If that doesn't help...
