Default VBA Macro Dist.

Thanks for all the replies! The guides have been very helpful.

Not enough information to be very specific, but generally speaking for
shared code an addin is the way to go. How you distribute and maintain it
depends on your needs.

OTOH if this is a one-time project you may be able to get away with emailing
the workbook. Macros are stored wherever you have stored them. If you record
a macro you can store them in the Personal Macro Workbook (which I never
do), or ThisWorkbook or a new workbook. Toolbars are better created
programmatically rather than "attached" to a workbook.

Good Morning Everyone!

I have a quick question regarding the distribution of macros.

In the office where I am located we have employees who aren't exactly as
computer literate as we'd like them to be. Therefore, giving them
instructions on how to manually input the provided code into the VBA
editor
would be tedious and time consuming.

I'm wondering if there is a way to neatly package these macros and deliver
them across a network of employees, such as a .exe file of some sort. I
know
that you can create buttons to execute the macro, so I'm thinking that if
I
create an Excel file with the buttons and some instructions it'll work
out,
but will the macro code be sent along with the Excel file?

Thanks for the help!!
