    Just installed 2003 over 2001 Plus and lost some of the addons, I can
    still load the addon by opening the dll file but can I get the addons
    box to 'see' the missing addons again without reinstalling??

    Phil,

    Old problem. The solution is "don't do that", ever.

    Allways install a new version as a seperate install. When you install over
    an exsisting version, the shared areas of the registry, like the add on
    folder (key), get hosed.

    If you don't have enough disk space for both installs, uninstall the old
    version, strip the registry of SW entries, and install the new version.

    Regards

    Mark
