Getting Rid of Add On

[DaveHampson]

1st one

How do I get rid of a Add On that is no longer required....It starts up every time I open excel..and I no longer use it

2nd one

How can I make excel run faster.......I have a racing file with 180,000 lines in from that 20,000 were non runners....so I selected them and pressed delete.....after 35 mins it still had not deleted them....it seems to run so very slow......Am I able to send more memory to it or something...just starting to get annoying that I have to wait ages for it to do every calculation

Thanx in advance to anyone who replies

Go to File, Options, Add-ins, Excel Add-ins, Go. Deselect the add-in. It should no longer be looked for by Excel. Find the addin file on the hard drive and delete it.

Thanks very much....deleted from hard drive....couldn't see anything to disable it in excel....hopefully it won't try to load next time

If you didn't find the add-in in the list of add-ins, the add-in may still be addressed by excel and this may prove to be a problem getting rid of. You will then have to go into the VBA editor and search around for the add-in as that is likely where it would be found. I have found that some of these add-ins can be a devil to get rid of completely.
