I would like to do a macro to turn on and shut off addins in my
solidworks.  Anybody have any ideas.

How would this be any simpler than going to "Tools --> Addins"?

Um.. use the Solidwroks office toolbar?

unless your referring to other addins that are on the office toolbar.

Hope that helps
SteveT.

How about this one... Got it from NG bout two years back... cant 
remember from who....

Just modify the path to your add-in DLL... works fine here.

---------------------------------

Dim swApp As Object

Dim RetVal As Long


'Path to the add in DLL for your application
Const strAddInPath As String = "C:\the_path_to_your_addin"

Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
If Not swApp Is Nothing Then
RetVal = swApp.LoadAddIn(strAddInPath) 'Load Add in
If RetVal = 2 Then 'add in already loaded
'Unload the add in
swApp.UnloadAddIn strAddInPath
End If
End If
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
End Sub
