WillR's answer is correct except that he has it working through the Workbook Open event.

From your Question I understand that you want it to work with a specific sheet selection ?? within a workbook.

If this is the case then use the following code as per attached example file.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
On Error GoTo Error
Set Solv = AddIns("Solver Add-In")
If Solv.Installed = False Then
AddIns("Solver Add-in").Installed = True
End If
Exit Sub
Error:
Exit Sub
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
On Error GoTo Error
Set Solv = AddIns("Solver Add-In")
If Solv.Installed = True Then
AddIns("Solver Add-in").Installed = False
'This shuts solver to conserve memory
Workbooks("Solver.XLA").Close SaveChanges:=False
End If
Exit Sub
Error:
Exit Sub
End Sub

Hi WillR
Thanks for your code. It has solved the problem.

If it's where all the other add-ins are you can use the following code

Code

Private Sub Workbook_Open() 
'you need to put this in the "ThisWorkBook" module. 


Set Solv = AddIns("Solver Add-In") 
If Solv.Installed = False Then 
AddIns("Solver Add-in").Installed = True 
End If 
End Sub

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way of adding any Excel Add-Ins automatically when a worksheet is opened. For e.g. If someone opens a worksheet on any computer it automatically adds the Solver Addin if it is already not there.

Thanks.
