Changing Add in information

[Sophie]

Information in an addin is conflicting with my VBA script.
When I run the VBA without the addin it runs beautifully. However when the
addin is attached it reverts to the old way.

How can the information in an addin be changed without creating a new one?

Are they both your add-ins or is one from another source? Can you view
both?

Hi Bill

I think they are both addins.

 

[Bill Dilworth]

What are the names or authors of these add-ins? Did you write them or did
someone else?

Someone else did but they are currently on holiday.

It sounds as if there is a conflict within the add-ins. I know this was
also what you diagnosed, but now you can say it with authority

It is not uncommon for coders to fall into a routine where they write
similar code similarly and may become a bit careless about conflicts. The
writer of these add-ins may have inadvertently written conflicting code (two
things trying to change the same object at the same time type of situation).
Unless you know code and have the add-in writers passwords for the add-ins
(I'm guessing they are password protected) I would unload the one lesser
valued to you and patiently wait for their return from vacation.

What do these add-ins do?

I don't think the add-ins are password protected. How can I check? Where
would I be able to find the code for the add-ins?

You can view add in code in the vb editor (if you have the password or there
isn't one) by setting a registry key

HKCU\Software|Microsoft\Office version number\Powerpoint\Options
DWord key - name DebugAddins - value 1

If this doesnt mean anything to you my advice is to leave well alone!
