File DMEODMA.xla not found...

Hi guys,

When I try and open a file in Excel, using File -> Open, I get the
following message...

"The file DMEODMA.xla not found."

The open file dialogue does not appear so I can't open a file.

Strangely though, if I click the "open" button on the toolbar the open
dialogue comes up okay and I can open a file.

Also, if I open an Excel file by double clicking on it in Windows
Explorer, Excel opens okay and so does the file.

This is not really stopping me from working as I can open files by
clicking on the "open" button on the toolbar but it is bugging me and I
was wondering if someone could help me out. A google search on
"DMEODMA" yielded nothing..!

Thanks in advance.

Lyndon.

DMEODMA.xla missing file sounds like an add-in trying to load and not being
found...............go to Tools > Add-ins > and look for DMEODMA and
un-check it...........

Thanks for replying. I've already gone through the Add-Ins and
un-checked them all, closed Excel and restarted, but this does not
solve the problem.

I've run "Excel.exe / RegServer" and this hasn't helped either.

Any other suggestions..?

Maybe check your Startup Directory to see if it's there..........

You may already have solved this problem by now, but this situation has probably resulted from un-installing a document management system. Regardless, to get rid of this annoyance, simply click on "Tools", then "Customize" in the File Menu. Choose the Toolbars tab and select the Standard toolbar, then click the "Reset" button. This should clear up the registry setting that is giving you problems..... Smile

Lyndon,
I had exactly the same problem as you after removing 80-20 Document
Manager from my system.
I followed Chip Pearson's advice regarding *'Start Up Errors in Excel'
* and found that step (3) Start Excel without customized toolbars and
menus fixed my problem.

In case you don't have it, the URL to this site is: -
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/StartupErrors.htm

Hope this works for you also.

Regards,
Obejohn
