I have no idea how big corporate IT departments handle this--but I wouldn't be
surprised if they use the same technique, but use a nicer name:

C:\MonolithInc\Excel\Addins\someaddinhere.xlam

Another (I think more complex) way to avoid the problem is to change the links
each time the workbook opens.

You could tell the user to put the addin in the same folder as the workbook and
use that path in the .changelinks line.

Search google for few examples.

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!

Philipp
