Default using a *.xslm add-in with several users

Programming in VBA is a bit like an Irish road map - where you have to start
from is not necessarily the best spot. I have had some success with
installing addins to a folder on a central server although there is a slight
performance reduction. The trick is to make sure that once the reference is
set that the path will be the same from any workstation

Hi Dave,

thanks for the quick reply. That solves the Problem. However saving the
add-in to C:\ or C:\PhijsAddins\ doesn't seem to be the professional way.
However saving it to C:\Program Files\PhijsAddins\ resulted in the same
problem as the Program files folder is called "Programme" in the German
version and therefore the folder names don't correspond to 100%. How do the
big Corporates handle this problem as they usually use folders such as
C:\Program Files\Oracle\...? Or is there another approach that the Add-in can
be stored in individual folders differing by the user which probably would be
the best solution.

Thanks a lot!
