MS Excel VBO - Add-ins

I'm opening a set of templates that require an Add-In. Using the MS Excel VBO add-ins are not enabled the way they are when the file is opened manually. Refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/213489 for a more technical explanation. Is there an addition to the Excel VBO that enables Add-Ins? Thanks.

Looks like Kenneth had the same question as you, Cynthia: https://portal.blueprism.com/forums/technical-queries/processobject-stu…

Alternatively, you can launch the Excel Application using ""Start Process"" action from Environment VBO. This will launch the Excel with all the add-ins. Add a Sleep here for 5-10 seconds and then you have to attach the excel instance to the process using the ""Attach"" action from Excel VBO and use the necessary actions from Excel VBO to progress with your process design. Hope this helps!
