Hi, I keep receiving the following error message when I initially launch/open excel. I've tried moving the add-in within Advanced options in excel, fixing the excel/office program itself, and even uninstalled and re-installed the program, and it still appears.

Could you please assist?

Thank you.

    It's only an excel issue, because it's related to an excel add-in. The exact error message is:

    Sorry, we couldn't find C:\Program Files\Addinsoft\XLSTATRIB.xlam. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?

    I've already uninstalled the XLSTAT software; however, this error message keeps on showing up.

    Thank you!

    Does the edited error msg relate to the excell.exe path?

    Is it only excel that has the issue?
