Default Running & maintaining macros remotely

You can certainly write a macro that opens a workbook (read only) on a
universally accessible server and then uses the Run method to execute a
macro in it.

| Hi
|
| I'm new to VBA, but learning fast with the help of the newsgroup.
|
| The problem I have is that as my knowledge gets better, the macros I have
| written are improved, however it is not practical to install the improved
| macros on to all users' machines due to them being located all over the
| country and their limited understanding of Excel preventing them importing
| them.
|
| So I was wondering if someone could tell me whether it is possible (and if
| it is how) to enable it so that when users run a macro, instead of running
| the macro installed it goes to a specified shared directory and runs the
VB
| file contained within it. That way any improvements I make will be
available
| to all users.
|
| Many thanks in advance
