Add Ins check

[Guest]

This may be a stupid question, but is there a way to get the current users
list of Add ins?

Add ins are apparently regulated at my workplace and only certain people may
have the analysis ToolPak available. I would like to have something to check
to see if it's there and if not, close the workbook with a message. I may
also need to find out if the user has Solver too.

I always thought these came standard, but guess our IT dept may be a little
paranoid.

Try something like


Sub ListAddIns()
Dim AI As AddIn
Debug.Print "*********** ALL ADDINS *************"
For Each AI In Application.AddIns
Debug.Print AI.Name, AI.FullName, AI.Installed
Next AI

Debug.Print "*********** INSTALLED ADDINS *************"
For Each AI In Application.AddIns
If AI.Installed = True Then
Debug.Print AI.Name, AI.FullName
End If
Next AI
End Sub
