Default Programming in VBA, use XLS or XLA as source??

If you just want to package your code as a separate workbook and use
worksheets from a different workbook, then xla's fill the bill. If you want
to work on worksheets in the workbook with the code, then an xla would not
support that directly. Events would be an example, although you could
instantiate application level events in the xla.

When I first started using Exel VBA, XLAs could not be edited.

You needed the xls source, and then would save to xla, really like a
psuedo-compile.

I have just returned to the game and it appears you can now edit xla

files.

SO: Is there any reason not just to work in the xla??? I am still using

the
old process working in the xls source. What are the pros and cons of

doing
this?

Thanks
