    Thank you for that.
    I checked, and YES !

    MISSING: NavNLU.xla
    Location: K:\Excel\LELTACS\NavNLU.xla

    So thither I went, and did a search in that folder and . . .

    NavNLU.xla
    K:\Excel\LELTACS

    So it IS there, but I guess I was correct; that Microsoft has downgraded / interferred, for that is the date Excel stopped working.

    So I started to "fiddle around", and in Excel I found > Developer > Add-ins > Excel Add-ins - and THERE was the Suspect. So I clicked on it, and . . .

    Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'K:\Excel\LELTACS\NavNLU.xla'. There are several possible reasons:
    • The file name or path does not exist.
    • The file is being used by another program.
    • The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.

    Well, none of those apply, so I then went to that folder, found the file and clicked on it -

    Microsoft Excel
    The last time you opened 'NavNLU.xIa', it caused a serious error. Do you still want to open it?

    So I clicked on "Yes", and it seems to have re-instated with (so far) no ill effects !

    So all seems to be well.

    Thank you !
