Troubleshooting Add-In Ribbon Problems

In some circumstances (e.g. when Excel crashes) Excel will decide to disable our add-in. Following are the two most common issues

I can't see the ipushpull ribbon

Occasionally the installation appears to complete successfully but the ipushpull ribbon / toolbar is not displayed in Excel. This can be caused by not shutting down Excel before installation, or by having the preview pane activated in Windows Explorer.

To fix the problem, start Excel and select File | Options | Add-ins. The following screen will be displayed:

Open

Select COM Add-ins from the drop down at the bottom of the screen then press the Go... button. The following pop-up will be displayed:

Open

Make sure that the ipushpullRibbon option is ticked then click OK. The ribbon should now be displayed.

To fix the problem, start Excel and select File | Options | Add-ins. The following screen will be displayed:

Select Excel Add-ins from the drop down at the bottom of the screen then press the Go... button. The following pop-up will be displayed:

Make sure that the ipushpull option is ticked then click OK. Your functions should now be working.
