Hi Arnard,

I have researched further for you on this issue. However, based on my research, the xla is deisgned to work after the installation. If you want to
double-click it or load it from the commandline, this goes into editting mode. Then in the editting mode, as you have seen, the Excel event can be
handled by the xla which is used for your modification on this add-in. You can see this as design time, not runtime. When the add-in is installed,
the xla works in runtime. My sample will illustrator how to load/unload add-in for you.

However, I suddenly realized your requirement may be one very wonderful product enhancement. So I'd suggest you can forward this to Microsoft
Wish program. Let us know how we can improve our products.
