Re: Excel Add-In Disappearing

Jerry,

Any chance you might have a "firewall" or some kind of program protection running? I know that McAfee Virusscan Enterprise has Access Protection Rules that you can override but then they get re-established depending upon rules from the server. Also, could you have a virus scanning package that sees it as a virus? There was a time that a McAfee version of Viruscan would blcok icons from displaying.

Odd that it would happen regularly, without running any other kind of update.

Subject: Excel Add-In Disappearing

I have an annoying problem whereby the iSeries Access add-in for Excel is disappearing. This is happening to me so I know that it is not something that a user is doing out of the ordinary.

Yesterday I successfully transferred data from the System i5 to a spreadsheet. This morning I tried to import to a new spreadsheet and, even though the icon is still on the toolbar, clicking it did absolutely

no good. The 'iSeries Access Data Transfer' option was checked in the Tools...Add-In... option box. I had to do the install of cwbtfxla.xll once again, and it is working again.

My PC has not been re-booted since yesterday. I do keep 2-3 spreadsheets open at all times. Nothing perverse has, as far as I know,

happened to or been done on the PC.
Any ideas?
