Conflict Between Two Add-Ins

[jeremiah adams]

We have a *.xla we use to automate some DDE calls. These are VBA functions
that are added to the Quick Access Toolbar. They are initially added to the
excel application via Add-Ins->Browse….

Another third-party add in exists in an end-user’s excel configuration.
This other third party application is causing a conflict with ours or vise
versa. When the user clicks on one of our buttons in the Excel Quick Access
Toolbar, Excel pops up an error message saying that the
ThirdPartyApplication.OurVBAFunction cannot be found. It looks like Excel
thinks our VBA functions are part of the other third party add in and cant
find them.

How can I resolve this conflict?

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

Jeremiah

Jeremiah,

I've seen this occur with market data based applications like Reuters &
Bloomberg. I have used the Application.OnTime method when facing challenges
like this.
