Charles,

Thanks for you reply. Yes, that appears to be the case. He did not compile
the code, as I always do. I'm unable to locate anything in Microsoft
Support that explains exactly what happens during this Compile process that
makes the files so much larger (other than a brief explanation of how it
does syntax checking, which is the main reason I compile). Do you know
where I can get more details on the Compile process?

The compiled Add-In does not show any noticeable performance improvement, so
I'm wondering what takes place to cause such a huge increase in file size
(4MB to 6MB).

Thanks again,
Mark

Mark,

probably he did not compile the code.

BTW you should be using Rob Bovey's Code Cleaner (if you arent already)

All,

I am currently using Excel XP (SP3) and created a complex Add-In, which I
passed along to another programmer. The other programmer opened the
Add-In and made a very minor VBA code change and then saved the XLA. The
file size of the XLA shrunk from 6MB to 4MB. He is also using Excel XP
(SP3). I ran a Sourcesafe compare on the code modules and they are all
identical (with the exception of the two lines he changed). There are a
few hidden worksheets, that are also unchanged. Does anyone have any
idea what would cause such a huge change in file size?

Thanks,
Mark D'Agosta
