Help with the General Interface... an Add In is opening on my screen now: FUNCRES.xlam

[awoohaw]

After a computer restart (as far as I know, no updates to Office/Microsoft 365) when I start Excel a workbook opens without any sheets (but it has my default style theme). When I close it it closes one of my other opened excel files (a macro template in my start folder which I have had for about a month now).

I think the file is FUNCRES.xlam, but I am not 100% sure. There are 4 other .xlam folders in the file location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\Library\Analysis
(this is not my start up file location).

Here is a screen shot.. there is no file name at the top, just the word "Excel"

The only thing that I did remotely "new" in excel recently was to create the default personal macros file (.xlsb).

Any insight would be helpful. I use Microsoft/Office 365 on Windows 11 Home.

Sounds as though you have selected the "Analysis Toolpak - VBA" add-in

Even when I deactivate the tool pack and restart excel the phantom workbook opens.

If you look in the VBA projects window do any of the other files in that folder open?

There are files there that have been open. What are you thinking? Clicking on solver asked for a password ( i've never assigned one, so I guess that is from the creator of SOLVER.xlam. FUNCRES has 27 worksheets that must all be hidden.

Is the FUNCRES file actually visible?

yes, but worksheets in the pane are not.

This is the file information pane:

This is the worksheet view:

In that case I have no idea what has happened.
In the VBA project select ThisWorkbook for FUNCRES & check that the IsAddin property is set to true.
