Hi,
XL2K: How do I delete an add-in (*.xla file) from the Tools drop-down menu
if it is already been removed from the "Add-in's available" list and from
its default location?.
TIA
Martyn
 
If you went to tools>addins>and unchecked AND moved it to another location.
Unselect it (if not done). NOW select it. Excel will look and ask if you
want to remove. click YES.

Some poorly-written add-ins do not clean up menu items when they close. Could
be the item is a left-over.

Have you tried Tools>Customize and dragged the offending menu item off the
Tools menu?

Close Excel and re-open. Does the item return?

If so, the Add-in is being loaded from somewhere.

Thanks Don and Gord,
Yes the add-in is a "left-over". It is not displayed with the checkable
items in the add-ins list. It is displayed on the Tools drop-down menu only,
but since I've removed it from its default location fails to be actived.
That is all right with me (cause I do not need it any more) but I just
wished I can remove it from the list.
Anyway if no cure exisists I may leave it as it is...
Cheers
Martyn
 
You could reset that toolbar (all customizations will be lost).

Tools|customize|toolbars tab
click on Worksheet menubar
click on Reset

Or you could just delete the offending icon/option manually.
Tools|customize (just to see that dialog)
now click on Tools (on the real worksheet menubar)
and drag the offending icon/option off the dropdown list.
close that dialog
 
Apologies, I thought it was the addin listing in Tools / Addins you were
referring to. Dave's advice should see you clear on the menu listing.

Mmmmm. Chopped liver!

ps. I followed your advice when I wrote my post. <vbg>.
 
Hey Gord,

All that's necessary to drag an icon off the tool bar is to simply hold
<Alt> and drag it off!
I think YOU advised me of that a looong time ago.

You'll NEVER be chopped liver in my book!
