Installing MS Update for SQL Services removes Dplt Menu

David,

Recently updated Excel with XLAddinSQLServicesSetup.exe (just for laughs, I don't need it). DPLOT menu in Excel disappeared. Uninstalled the SQL thing, DPLOT came back again. (Note to self, don't install stuff you don't need, dummy).

Not sure if there are any folks who might USE the SQL thing and ALSO have DPLOT, but there you go. That's my Bug Report :-)

Thanks, I'll look into this.

Before doing so my guess is that the DPlot menu just got wiped out during the current Excel session and would have been restored if you had restarted Excel.

Yeah it seems to be doing that sometimes even without this update. It comes back if I go into Excel addins, uncheck Dplot, close, re-enter addins menu and recheck it. Had me worried for a while...
