Re: Excel Add-In Disappearing

Hi Jerry
when I first read of your predicament, small bells started ringing in my
head, and I've just realized why.
Years ago (roughly 12) our mainframe work was outsourced to Alltel. The
people that worked for Alltel had their own PC's set up on their own
network. One of their guys was perpetually (about once a week or two)
adding the same add-ins to his PC software. To cut a long story short, the
PC software did NOT reside on their PC, but resided on their network
server, which was refreshed about once a week or two. Anything that wasn't
considered "standard" was cleared out.
Does this have any bearing on your situation?

I did get it again, Marco. This happens about once a week or so. My
question is: Why?

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?
