Hi all,

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

When I save a .xlam file to My Documents and then browse to that location from the Add-in interface in Excel, even if I check the box to select the add-in, I don't see it appear in the Menu Commands widget in the Add-Ins tab.

When I browse to My Documents within Windows Explorer, I see that the "ghost" version of the file "~$RDBMerge.xlam" is open. When I step into VBA within Excel, I see a module open named after the add-in.

Looks like Excel is recognizing add-ins within the VBA context but not as something that I can just click on within the Add-ins tab. Any suggestions at all would be much appreciated!

Thanks so much
