Code that keeps creating a toolbar - where might that code be hidden?
We have a vendor-provided corporate application that is integrated into our
Offce 2003 suite (database queries behind the scenes, etc.). The part of the application that I see is a toolbar in Excel (all machines are WinXP). Unfortunately, their program is poorly written, and does things like hide commandbuttons in other workbooks, etc. When I go into Excel View/Toolbars and click to suppress viewing the toolbar, it goes away...but the next time Excel is opened, the toolbar comes back (is automatically visible again). Of course, the presence of the toolbar itself isn't likely to cause the commandbuttons in other workbooks to dissapear, but I figure if I can find the code that is auto-showing the toolbar, I might find the rest of the code as well. I didn't find any add-ins, nor any files in any startup folders (at least anywhere I could think of). So, if you wanted to tick off your customers by figuring out a way to make a toolbar visible every time Excel starts, how would you do it? I'm asking because I want to use your ideas to work backwards and figure out where their code is, so I can figure out a workaround. It is possible that they might be using some .NET code somewhere that puts the toolbar back anytime Excel opens, but I wouldn't even know where to look for something like that if the code isn't in Excel itself. There might also be other directories where some sort of very hidden add-in might be located that I don't know about, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Keith |
