Making Add-ins
Work in Microsoft Excel
Excel can be
pretty protective of its operating environment, and if it determines
that an add-in may have contributed to a crash, that add-in may be
automatically disabled. For those situations where you need to
enabled, disable, or otherwise manage your add-ins, here's how to do
it for different versions of Excel:
Excel 2003:
From the main Excel toolbar, select Tools, then Add-ins.
You can click on each checkbox to enable/disable add-ins here,
and then click OK. To specifically look for disabled items, go to
Help from the main toolbar, then About Microsoft Office Excel, then
click on the Disabled Items button.
Excel 2007:
Click the Office button, select Excel Options, and then click
Add-Ins. Select Disabled Add-Ins from the Manage section at the
bottom of the Add-Ins window and then click Go. Any disabled add-ins
will appear on the Disabled Items list. Enabled the desired items,
and then click Close. You can also specify to manage only COM
add-ins (such as CDXZipStream and CDXStreamer) by choosing COM Add-Ins
from the Manage section at the bottom of the window. (A COM -
Component Object Model - add-in is a dynamic linked library that can
be used across multiple MS Office applications.)
Excel 2010 and
2013: From the File tab on the Excel Ribbon, select Options,
then Add-ins. As in Excel 2007, you can select Disable add-ins
from the Manage section at the bottom of the Add-Ins window, then
click Go. Any disabled add-ins will appear on the Disabled
Items list. Enabled the desired items, and then click Close.
You can also specify to manage only COM add-ins (such as
CDXZipStream and CDXStreamer) by choosing COM Add-Ins from the Manage
section at the bottom of the window.
Note that you
may need to close and restart Excel to then use an enabled add-in.
When enabling CDXZipStream, make sure that all listed add-ins
that include the name "CDXZipStream" are checked.
If simply
enabling CDXZipStream is not successful, it may be necessary to
remove the add-in completely and then add it back to the COM add-ins
list. You can do this in Excel 2007 and higher and by selecting
"Com add-ins" at the bottom of the Add-Ins window, then
clicking Go. Click on the unchecked CDXZipStream add-in
function and press Remove. Then click Add and browse for the
CDXZipStream add-in in the file C:\Program
Files\CDXZipStream\CDXZipStream.dll. (For 64 bit versions of
Windows, the Program Files directory is called Program Files (x86).)
Add the CDXZipStream add-in, check it to enable, and then click
OK and restart Excel
