Hi,

Every user is have a warning message when they start up excel. The
warning is about compile error from a addin/macro (xla file) that a
third party application integrated into Excel (We are running excel
2000). I would like to disable it when Excel is launched, however, there
doesn't seem to be a way to do it. I looked at the macro/security/addins
and I can't find any reference to it.

Can someone suggest me what to check next?

Thanks

Can you turn it off via:
Tools|Addins
(and uncheck that addin)

Or if the .xla file is in the XLStart folder, you can move it to some other
location.

If you want to disable the Add-In, go to:

Tools --> Add-Ins...

Then look up in the list for the add-in giving you this headache and untick
it.

All the addins are unchecked and I don't see any of them are related to
what I saw.

I deleted the xla file in the xlstart folder and everything seem to be
fine now.

Thanks
