Is anyone having trouble adding refedit controls to userforms after
upgrading 2003 to sp3? I have two pcs, as identical as I can keep them, and
one can not add refedit controls. I get a forms error when I just click on
the control and can not even add one to a form. Repairing office did no
good.

I've seen Bill Freund's posts, and know he is having refedit troubles and he
has not been able to resolve.

I'm wondering if the problem is more wide spread than we think.

There does seem to be a major control problem randomly occurring associated
with Excel 2003 SP3.

I have had this problem with both Treeview and Refedit.

Sometimes (but maybe not always) you can solve the problem by searching for
all .EXD files and deleting them.

Sometimes resetting up your profile solves it.

We need to get MSoft to take a look at this

The .EXD files are in the temp directory

C:\Documents and Settings\<username\Local Settings\Temp

as well as in this directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms

I found that deleting the RefEdit.exd from this second directory fixed the
problem (which first had plagued me for days).

Just deleted all EXD files - no help

Did a repair of Office - no help

Did a re-install per the Control panel - no help

Un-installed Office, searched for and re-deleted all EXD files, deleted all
temp files in application data and Windows, deleted traces of Office still
in Program Files and Application Data, deleted other programs I saw in
Control Panel that didn't belong or were not needed, rebooted, Prayed,
Offered wife to the computer gods, re-installed Office, did not do auto
updates, turned off auto updates to prevent any SP upgrades from
nstalling. - this worked!

I have 7 files called Refedit.DLL on my system.

In no particular order they are in
C:\off2003\Office11 12.0.6202.3013 97.8kb created 6 June 2007
C:\off2k\office 1.0.0.0 created 4 June 1998
c:\offxp\Office10 1.0.0.0 created 23 September 1999
C:\WINDOWS\system32 1.0.0.0 61.5 kb created 20 November 1996
C:\program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 12.0.6211.1000 40.8 kb created 24
August 2007
C:\Windows\Installer\$patchcache$\managed\90401119 00063D11C8EF10054038389c\11.0.5614
76.0 kb dated 8 May 2003
C:\Windows\Installer\$patchcache$\managed\00002119 4100000000000000000F01FEC\12.0.4518
37.2 KB dated 26 October 2006

(I have many different versions of Office coexisting on this system).

What would be interesting would be to get the same list from someone who is
having problems!

Thank you, thank you, thank you... I did a search for the refedit.exd file,
deleted all references, and a weeks worth of troubleshooting is now over.
