Default Cannot insert object when I update version

I have an ActiveX control that I developed with ATL that I recently enhanced. I updated the type library version from 1.6 to 1.7.

The new control works fine with Visual Basic and Internet Explorer. However when I try to load it into Excel I get the message "Cannot insert object".

I assumed the problem was a mismatch between the version of the type library and a version specified in the header for the control. However synchronizing them did not help.

Someone on the vc.atl board suggested that Excel might be caching the old type library. How can I check this? Does anyone have any other ideas what might be causing this problem?
