FWIW, this is (some of) the output from Process Explorer for Excel 2002 on
Win2K. Never had the phantom problem.

Maybe see how it compares to yours. Note I have Acrobat and Winfax installed
I have no idea what a .box file is though. Anyone ?

Hi Dave,

I didn't realize I had to choose the "Tools" category under the
Command Tab. I now see where the "COM Add-ins" is.

I added the button and there are no COM add-in's available. So I'm
back to square one.

Any other ideas what can be causing the phantom workbooks? It is a
strange problem. I'm still suspicious of this other complex charting
macro that I run. Even though it's not loaded when I start Excel, is
there any way it left behind some residual code or setting that is
causing the problem?

Thanks.

John
