AUTO-OPEN

When Excel opens it runs a Macro to add an unwanted toolbar from within "TbRun97 Project" shown in the Macro Editor but when I try to edit this in Macro editor it asks for a password. Can anyone help??

The project is protected. There are two ways to be able to edit the macro :-
1) Find out who wrote it and ask them what the password is.
2) Use a password cracker to unprotect the file e.g. www.lostpassword.com but it costs.
Regards,
Daniel.

It transpires that Scansoft Textbridge Classic Scanner installation put it there but failed to remove it on UN-install. I have tried their website but the support e-mail page seems corrupt. Still trying though.

Are you trying to delete it ? look for any *.xla files on your hard drive and locate it. Then just delete it ! or move it, or do something to it, to keep it from running.

I've sussed it. There was an TbRun97.xls file in c:\windows\application data\microsoft\excel\Xlstart folder. I deleted it and its done.
Thanks all.
