    My custom ribbbon disappeared when upgraded to excel-16 from excel -07

    Hello,

    I have upgraded excel from 7 to 16 version. But my custom ribbon add-in created for excel 7 has disappeared now. Can you please suggest how to bring back that.
    I have placed the xlam file in proper location.

    Thank you!

    Hi

    Did you install it through the add-in dialog?

    Have you restarted Excel? If so, I suggest you check the option to display add-in user interface errors and then reload the add-in.

    Just as I described. In Excel Options, Advanced section, check the option to display add-in user interface errors. Then restart Excel.

    File- Options- Advanced, scroll down to the bottom and it is in the General section below 'Ask to update automatic links'.

    One other option to check where I have had an Addin Enabled/checked but did not show is that the Addin somehow becomes disabled.

    In Excel. Go to File | Options. Chose Addins on Left and then go to Disabled and see if shows up there.

    One more think to check is your RibbonX customUI. Did you create it and was it developed for Office 2007? Perhaps you need to update the beginning of your RibbonX? Does it show this?

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Can you share the Addin to see if will load for one of us?

    and perhaps give the File Path where you placed the addin?

    And you did check your disabled items correctly here?

    Yes I have developed it for office 2007 and now upgraded to 2016.

    Which code I need to update for this?
    and how?

    Thanks!

    I think we've exhausted help options perhaps without seeing a sample.

    Hard to tell you which code needs to be updated as we dont' know how you created your custom ribbon menu items.

    Can you post the the addin file?

    Click the Go Advanced to reply and choose Manage Attachments at the bottom. If not, you need to explain and post the code. Did you write the original code or was it provided by someone else?

    The 2007 ribbonx namespace should work in 2016. It's when you try using newer namespaces in older apps that you don't see it.

    Do you create a new tab or add groups to existing ones. If so it's possible the idMso has changed.
    Enabling the addins error interface, as suggested by xlnitwit, will provide information if this is the case.
    Cheers
