Folks, I have an issue with Excel 2007 when trying to add an addin, whilst in excel as an ordinary user: 1) Click the Office button 2) Excel Options 3) AddIns Excel for me just crashes at this point. When done as an admin it all works. Does anyone know what to do to resolve this please Martin S. Martin Searle BSC(hons) Comp.

It would be nice if a dodgy plugin couldn't crash excel! But its nice I've fixed it. One for others too note in this situation. Martin Searle Computing Service
