Addins disabling randomly

[Andy D]

Hi there,

We are having a small problem with office XP whereby some of the Add-ins
that have been developed are disabling themselves at random.

They also disable themselves if word crashes out.

Is there a way to re-enable them (a reg key or file change or something) or
stop word disabling them in the first place?

Thanks in advance,

Andy D

Word disables a COM add-in if it throws an exception from its OnConnection
handler or if you return an error HRESULT from there. The registry location
is under [HKLM|HKCU]\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\AddIns. Look for the
LoadBehavior value. To load the add-in on startup, it should be 3.

Thanks for the tip, I will suggest this one to the systems team so we can
re-enable it on startup if it disables itself.

Thanks again

In my case i have made one Word 2003 Addin in C# and it disables on some of the machines some time and after enabling it works perfectly.It is very difficult for me to replicate..

If there is any problem with addin then why it's working on all other machines as well as on that machione after reenabling...

Please Help...
