I have installed an add-in to excel which is relating to our accounts
system database. This has added a new menu I can click to access it
and is available each time I launch Excel. I have a couple of
questions:

How does it add the menu and know to launch it each time?

The add-in really slows down excel so I would rather be able to choose
whether or not I include the add-in when I launch excel - is this
possible?

Thanks for any help
 
The addin will have some code in the Workbook_Open event that dynamically
builds a menu and more code in the Workbook_BeforeClose event that destroys
it.

You can uninstall the addin by going to Tools>Addins, find the enttry and
uncheck it. Check it again when you later need it.

Thanks Bob - but it's not showing in the 'add-ins' list - only on the
menu? Any ideas?
 
Jacqui -

Generally, if the add-in file is located in the Program Files \ Microsoft
Office \ Office \ Library folder, it will appear in Tools | Add-ins.

But it might be located in the Program Files \ Microsoft Office \ Office \
XLStart folder.

Or, it might be in the alternate Excel startup folder that may have been
specified in Tools | Options | General | "At startup, open all files in:"

If it's in either of the last two locations, it will load each time you
launch Excel.

If it's a single-file add-in, it might continue to function if it's moved to
the Library folder, in which case you could "manage" it yourself using Tools
| Add-ins.
