Rename Add-Ins

B

BEEJAY

I use J-Walk menu makr extensively (though not frequently)
I now have two add-ins showing up under tools/add-ins selector box
that have an "incorrect" name, although the add-in itself is exactly
what I want.
The file is named as I want
The name of the .xla properties is as I want.
Somehow, sometime, I must have entered something incorrectly and
now the addin selection box names of these two files does not reflect
what they are actually for.
Now, after all that, is there a way to rename what shows up in the
selector box? or do I have to create those two add-ins over from scratch?

So why is the name in the list 'wrong[', it is just a name?

I don't think you can rename anything, but you can move the actual file.

Then the next time you go to Tools|Addins, try clicking on one of those addins.
Excel will notice that the file is no longer where it's supposed to be and offer
to remove it from the list.

What's in a name?
When a file name and the VBA property name is Range Clean
but the Add-In selector box has a name of menumakr attached to it
things can become more than a little confusing, as I'm sure you can
imagine.

I used your suggestion to remove the errant names,
recreated the .xls files, saved as .xla and re-selected the add-ins
with the proper name this time.
Thanks for your help.
