remove add-in entry via registry
Does anybody have a clear example of how to remove an add-in from
the list that appears under Tools, Add-ins? I would like to do this with API calls to the registry, but I can't find any good example of this. Thanks for any assistance. RBS |

keepITcool,
Think I got this now largely worked out. There is just one bit that won't work with Excel and that is the keyword Return in the bufInit section of the function Install_Addin.

remove add-in entry via registry
It is a confusing construction.
Return didn't show in the help, but GoSub did. RBS "Myrna Larson" wrote in message ... Yes, they haven't removed Gosub and Return.

RBS "RB Smissaert" wrote in message .. . keepITcool, Think I got this now largely worked out. There is just one bit that won't work with Excel and that is the keyword Return in the bufInit section of the function Install_Addin. Would this translate to Exit Function?
