Default Sharing Macros

In answer to Q2, I save my macros in separate shared spreadsheets on
the network. People link their buttons to run the macro in the
workbooks. This way, I can have the same macro run by many different
people at the same time and I can have a development version, which I
can test and develop before promoting it to the final finished version
(saving it over the previous version). By saving it as the same named
file, people do not have to change their buttons - they just click the
same button to run the updated macro.

Also by sharing the workbook, no one else can see the code!

I always have an auto close statement on the macro spreadsheet as well,
so no one actually sees the macro spreadsheet open.

Hope that helps, but your question 2 is something I have been wanting
to ask too - If anyone has a better way, I would be pleased to hear and
try it.

This is a two part question. I have created several macros to run on a
spreadsheet.
Q1 - how do I combine all these seperate macros to run sequentially together
at the press of a customized toolbar button. ( I know how to create the
button).

Q2 - once I combine the macros into a Run all type button how do I share
this (or these) macros across my department?
