I assume that, in your situation, you tried to achieve the followings

1) You produces a worksheet function in VBA
2) You saved the file as an add-in and wanted to share it with others

It should be easy

Let's do the following experiment

1) In a new workbook, insert a new Module in VBA Edito
2) Type the function

Function testing(
testing = 12
End Functio

3) Save the file as an add-in
4) Close the file and quit Exce
5) Start Excel and load the XLA file. (No need to do it through Tools, Add-in. May just double-click its icon to open it.
6) In a worksheet, in a cell, type

=testing(

The cell should return the answer "123"

So, from the above experiment, we know that
- All worksheet fuctions stored inside an XLA can be available to all worksheets in opened workbooks

If you still have problem, you may send me your add-in and I can have a look for you

I've searched/sorted through 60,000 messages here, but didn't find a
solution to my problem

I created my first VBA macro in a particular spreadsheet and it work
great. So great that I've been requested to share it with others.
generated an .xla file with the macros in it and have successfull
used my function from there and shared it with others

The problem: I can't remove the local macro module from the origina
spreadsheet and use the addin. When I remove the original VBA module
all reference to the function result in #NAME and will not recogniz
the function from the AddIn (which is selected in the Tools/AddI
menu)

I'm using Excel 2002 (from Office XP)
