Hi everyone,

I just wanted to add my own ribbontab to Excel2007, and I made it work, but the other ribbontabs like sheet, formulas, insert etc. etc. aren't there anymore when I register the adx project and start excel. I found out that if I set one of the properties InsertBeforeId/InsertBeforeIdMso/InsertAfterId/InsertAfterIdMso to any value and register the project, the standard ribbontabs are there again, but then my ribbontab isn't anymore.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks a lot

P.S: I am using Addin-Express 2008 (adxnet-v400-b1902-vs-std) with visual studio 2005, my project can be downloaded at http://www.alco.biz/download/addin.zip

Hi Patrick.

Just clear the StartFromScratch property of the addinmodule and rebuild the add-in project.
