COMAddins and AutomationAddins
Does anyone know how the computer knows the difference between a COMAdd-in
and an AutomationAddin. The computer knows the difference because it puts an entry for COMAddin in the register HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins but it puts an entry for an AutomationAddin in the register HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Excel\Add-in Manager (if not loaded) and in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Excel\Options (if loaded). How does the computer know to register the COMAddin in a different place from the AutomationAddin? |

COMAddins and AutomationAddins
Thank you for your reply but I do not follow. I am not an expert in Excel
but both my ComAddins and my AutomationAddins have extensions .dll as they are both ActiveX DLLs with a Designer Class (called initially Connect) (compiled using VB6.0) .
