RIBBON TAB NOT BEING REMOVED

F

FARAZ QURESHI

I had installed an add-in "Ray's Tools" which created an additional tab on
the Excel 2007's ribbon. However, upon removing the check from such an addin,
in the AddIn's installed, the tab and buttons thereupon are still appearing,
which upon being clicked display a message such a file doesn't exist.

How to disable this AddIn and remove such a tab and buttons thereupon
permanently?

I just downloaded it and installed it, and it didn't create a ribbon for me,
just added a toolbar on the Addin tab. But I agree, it didn't destroy itself
on unloading, so it is clearly very poorly written.

However, I got rid of it by typing this in the Immediate window

Application.CommandBars("Ray's Tools").Delete

Thanx Bob!

However, I was unable to overcome this problem.
1. I opened the VBA editor by ALT+F11;
2. In the immediate window pane in the bottom I pasted
"Application.CommandBars("Ray's Tools").Delete";
3. I pressed the play button, but in reply the macro box opens up.

Please help me out in removing this Add-Ins Tab.

Thanx

Don't press play, just type it and hit Enter

Thanx Bob! Late but Great!

However, the Ray's Tools v1.0 item still appears in the list of Add-Ins
available though unchecked. I have deleted the .xla as file as well!

It will. After deleting it, go back to the addins list and select the item.
You should get a message that the file doesn't exist, and it will ask if you
want to remove it from the list.
