Of the ones you've listed, I might only consider SQL Excel to be cool, but I haven't used it yet so it's not in my five. Here are mine: 1. <a href="http://www.appspro.com/Utilities/ChartLabeler.htm" rel="nofollow">Chart Labeler</a> by Rob Bovey: easily add labels from the worksheet to your charts. 2. <a href="http://www.jkp-ads.com/OfficeMarketPlaceNM-EN.asp" rel="nofollow">Name Manager</a> by Jan Karel Pieterse: manage defined names in your workbook. 3. <a href="http://www.jkp-ads.com/Download.asp" rel="nofollow">AutoSafe</a> also by Jan Karel Pieterse: save a copy of each open workbook at pre-specified intervals to a pre-specified directory. 4. <a href="http://excelguru.ca/node/57" rel="nofollow">XLG Favourites</a> by Ken Puls: most recent files on steroids, allows you to permanently add files and folders to a custom list. 5. <a href="http://oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm#BillManville" rel="nofollow">Find Links</a> by Bill Manville: find external links anywhere in your workbook. This doesn't count some of my own utilities, which I also think are pretty cool. Mostly because I wrote them to address needs that otherwise were unmet. I have a different list.
