Usually when you create an add-in, Office moves it to this location or one of the sub directories therein:

C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeLibrary

Failing that, search you're directories for "*.xla" (hit "Windows Key" + "F") and this should turn it up. It's still on your computer or else you wouldn't be able to see it on the add-ins list.

Sorry Mark, you misunderstand,
I know where the .xla file is, i just can't see it anywhere from within Excel.

I can't see it as a menu item or button or a function or anything even though it is installed and checked.

Thanks for trying to help though.
