Can't See DTS in Excel After Installation

By default, the DTS software does not load automatically in Excel.

To launch DTS:

• Either double-click the desktop icon (if you selected desktop icons during install), or click the Start Button and select the DecisionTools program group.
• If Excel is already running, the software will attach to the running copy; otherwise the software will launch Excel for you.
  • If Excel is already running and the software doesn't attach to it, see Nothing Happens When I Launch the Software.

To make DTS run automatically every time you run Excel:

• See Opening DTS Software Automatically Whenever Excel Opens
  • NOTE: The article lists some specific add-ins; Don't make any other DTS add-ins active. 
  • Don't manually add any toolbars.
    • This may actually cause the software to malfunction.

TIP: You can make it easier to launch @RISK.

• In the Start menu, in the DecisionTools program group
  • right-click any of our icons and select Pin to Taskbar or Pin to Start Menu.

NOTE: Our software may appear in Excel's list of inactive add-ins. This is normal. It doesn't need to be in Excel's list of active add-ins unless you want it to launch with Excel every time, as mentioned above.
