I'm trying to run Excel 2000 in Terminal Server environment. When I enable some of the Add-in in Excel, and got these error messages:

Microsoft Excel can't run this add-in.
An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Please contact your system administrator.

Microsoft Excel cannot access the file '..\Analys32.xll'. There are several possible reasons:

* The file name or path name does not exist
* The file you're trying to open is being used by another program. Close the document in the other program, and try again.
* The name of the workbook you're trying to save is the same as the name of another document that is read-only. Try saving the workbook with a different name

Both error messages pop up twice. What should I do next?

An xll file is from the Excel Dynamic Link Library.

I suggest that you close all MS apps, and try to reload Excel locally from the CD-ROM drive on your computer (because it does not look as if it is finding it on the server or it is already being used) -- and add your add-in(s) simultaneously.

After adding the add-in, then open Excel and the workbook and see if it all works thereafter.

Analys32.xll is the Analysis Toolpak Add-In.

"This problem was first corrected in Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition Service Pack 6."

Q173191 is not the right reference article. The symptom doesn't even match with the question I posted which actual appear on Excel program.

If I understand correctly, you are user running Excell from a Terminal Server, not the Administrator attemting to get Excel to work in a TS environment.
If this is the case, the answer is that Excel is installed (and actually running) on that remote server and you can't modify the program configuration without having administrative priviliges on that remote server.
If these plug-ins are required for you to do your job properly, I would talk to your network administrator about adding them.

That wasn't the case. Even the user has domain admins rights, the result is remaining the same. Thanks!
