Default Not a valid Add-in - Error Message

Excel 2000, Win2k.

If I try to add an add-in via the add-in manager, I receive the
message: 'Not a valid add-in'. This message appears for just
this particular add-in, AFAIK.

If I browse to that add-in, double click it and then enable
macros, then it loads ok (together with its menu) and appears
to work ok.

What is happening, please?

Stuart,

Open the add-in as a workbook (not via add-in manager), then goto the VBE,
select ThisWorkbook for the add-in, and check that the IsAddin property is
set to True.
