Odd Add-in behaviour

P

Pete Church

HI all,

We have created an Excel application for a client which consists of an
Add-In (xla) and a workbook. We tested it thoroughly under
Win2K+Office2K (client set-up) and WinXP-OfficeXP (our setup). All
seemed fine.

One of our test users now has a problem in that when the Add-In is
enabled in Excel Tools>AddIns, his machine slows down tremendously
(most noticably using Outlook over a network), disenabling the Addin
speeds things up.

The Add-In itself is simple - just a user settings management routine
and adds a control to the Excel Menu Bar - with no complex references
etc. And perhaps the oddest thing is that it does it when Excel is not
running (such as straight after a reboot).

I didn't think that MS Excel Add-ins have any affect outside of Excel,
and especially when it's not even running.

Anyone have any ideas where to even start looking for a solution?

Many thanks in advance,

Pete
