XL2000: Installed Add-Ins Are Not Opened Automatically (211512)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel 2000
This article was previously published under Q211512

SYMPTOMS

When you start Microsoft Excel 2000, menu items from add-ins are not displayed.

CAUSE

Excel 2000 does not load any default add-ins. This behavior occurs even if you select Run from My Computer for all add-ins when you install Excel 2000.

RESOLUTION

Load the add-ins that provide the missing menu items. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. On the Tools menu, click Add-ins.
  2. In the list of available add-ins, click to select the check box of all the add-ins that you want to use.
  3. Click OK.

MORE INFORMATION

When you install Microsoft Excel 2000, if you choose to install any add-ins, Setup copies the add-ins to your computer so that anyone can use them. However, Excel does not automatically load the add-ins just because they are selected in the Add-ins dialog box.
