FileBound (FB): MS Excel does not display the FileBound Connect add-in as expected

When FB Connect is installed, it also applies add-ins to MS Office. The add-ins provide more integration options with FB Connect. In some instances, after the application is installed, the add-ins will not show in the toolbar as expected.

Here is what the toolbar in Excel should look like if the FileBound Connect add-in is applied correctly.

If the FileBound Connect add-in does not show in the toolbar, perform the following steps to enable it;

1. From the Excel menu, click on File > Options > Add-ins.
2. On the Add-ins window, verify your Active Application Add-ins. You should see these two add-ins listed here; FileBound Excel Addin and FileBound SearchAndReport Excel AddIn.
   1. If you do not see these here, you will need to verify that the add-ins are enabled.
3. Using the Manage drop down at the bottom, select Disabled Items from the menu, then click on Go...  
   1. If you see the noted items listed in the Disabled Items window, you will need to select the add-in, then click on Enable to activate it.
4.  If the add-in is enabled, but you still do not see it in the toolbar, then use the Manage drop down to select COM Add-ins, then click Go...  
   1. Verify that the FileBound Excel AddIn and SearchAndReport Exce; AddIn are selected from the menu, as shown here. If they are not, simply check the box and click OK.  

If for any reason the FileBound Connect Add-in still does not show in Excel, you can;

1. Relaunch Excel
2. Do a full uninstall then reinstall of FileBound Connect
3. Manually install the add-in by running the VSTO file located in C:\Program Files\FileBound\FileBound Connect. Once you navigate to this folder, locate the FBOfficeAddIn.Excel VSTO file. Then double click on this to complete the install.
