ADD-IN will not appear in MENU BAR
I'm having a problem with several ADD-INs not appearing on a menu bar when
Excel opens. One ADD-IN loads perfectly and 5 won't load. The PC is running XP, ADD-INs will not load when Excel opens even though the ADD-INs are properly installed. The ADD-IN that does load easily is in the same folder as the 5 problem files. The box in TOOLS ADD-INs remains checked to "on" between Excel sessions for all 6 ADD-INS. Unchecking and then re-checking the box in TOOLS ADD-INs causes that ADD-IN's menu to reappear on the menu bar. Then everything works fine until the next time Excel opens. Does anyone know what I need to do in order to cause the ADD-IN to load every time Excel starts? Thanks Mike |

It sounds as though some code is failing that adds the commandbars in those
addins, but without seeing it is difficult to be precise. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "MIKE215" wrote in message ...

ADD-IN will not appear in MENU BAR
A wild guess -
Code to create the addin's menu items is in the AddinInstall event, also menus are deleted when the addin unloads (a normal thing to do). If you have that combination initiate the code to create the menus from the Workbook_Open event or Auto_open in a normal module. Regards, Peter T "MIKE215" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Bob
But why would the Add-in appear when I toggle the check box on and of in tools Add-ins? These Add-ins were written by other folks and the code is passworded so I can't get a sample.

Because the circumstances are (slightly different), so it may react
differently. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "MIKE215" wrote in message ...
