Add-in damaged Excel

**mliungman** · 01-14-2006, 06:12 AM

Hi!

I just saved a signature creating macro on our server as an add-in. This way I can install the add-in on all our workstations and by that give everyone easy access to the macro. All worked well at first. However, after a small modification of the code, and a new save-as add-in, my Excel just wouldn't start. "There was an error starting this add-in..." and so on. I'm asked to send a report to Microsoft and then Excel shuts down.

I have unistalled Office and reistalled it again, but still the same problem. Does anyone have an idea what I should do next? A register problem? Restarting in safe mode doesn't help.

Thanks

Martin

did you try deleting your add-in?

I have tried both removing the add-in and putting it back. Excel still opens and then shuts down with error message.

I'd love to!

Have no idea what you mean, though. How do I "clean (rebuild) up" my add-in? The add-in that caused this is the only one I've ever made. I'll try creating a new add-in with the same name as the bad one, and see if that helps. Any tips is appreciated.

Start a new workbook.

Copy all the code from the troublesome workbook's project to the new workbook's
project.

Copy all the data in all the worksheets to new worksheets in the new workbook.

Etc, etc, etc.
