--------------- 
When inserting custom standard parts, you might get the error, 
Run-time error '1004': 'moldwizard_add_in.xla' could not be found. 
How do you fix this error?







Solution

First you can check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is 
correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently 
used files, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.

Furthermore, this error could occurs when Mold Wizard fails to load the 
moldwizard_add_in.xla macro.
Starting in NX10.0.2, Mold Wizard no longer automatically loads the macro when 
the users are entering Mold Wizard application, because doing this will bring a 
lot of unexpected Excel processes. This change will not affect NX MW default 
libraries because MW spreadsheets do not need the moldwizard_add_in.xls when 
they are being opened.


However, it would affect opening the customized standard part data files 
because most of them have unnecessary loading of the macro in file open.


So here is a workaround to correct the spreadsheets.


After getting this error, follow the steps below:


1) Hit End to bring up Standard Part Management dialog. 
2) Edit Data Base --> You might need to Enable Content --> Select the Main 
Sheet --> RM --> Edit Code --> Under VBAProject --> Select ThisWorkbook --> 
Select AutoUpdateFrequence under Properties --> Sheet --> White out everything 
under General --> Save spreadsheet --> Close it --> Back to Standard Part 
Management dialog --> Cancel
