Default Using add-in through intranet

Hello Ajit,

It is a bad idea to keep an add-in on a file server, as this will reduce
your network bandwith.

You could either use SMS to automate an update or you could attach a VBS
script to your user's login process so as to download the add-in to your
users machine.

If these computers have different folders/directories structures, then query
the registry so as to find the correct location to install/copy your add-in.

Hope that helps

I have couple of files accessible/downloadable through intranet. I am
planning to
use Add-ins (some common set of code/functions, forms to be attached to

all
the files).

Firstly, am i thinking the right approach/logic?

Secondly, Can i keep the add-in on the server and attach it to all the

files
and use the form and code in the add-in's. And is there a way that when

one
downloads a file to it's own PC and gets d'connected to the internet the
add'in utilities can still be used.

Suggestions will be highly appreciated.
