Excel looks at the folders named by Application.UserLibraryPath and
Application.LibraryPath. E.g,.


Sub AAA()
Dim UserLib As String
Dim XLLib As String

UserLib = Application.UserLibraryPath
XLLib = Application.LibraryPath

Debug.Print "UserLib:", UserLib
Debug.Print "XLLib:", XLLib
End Sub

Where in the world is the AddIns folder that comes up when you save as
.xla? If I create an .xla by saving as..., I see it, but I cannot find it
in that file path on windows explorer. I also searched for and found 2
more folders called AddIns, but neither folder holds the .xla I created by
saving as .xla. Very confusing, but I would like to move all of my .xla's
into the same AddIns folder I see when excel suggests where to save as
.xla's. thanks
