I use COMAddins but I don't build my menus there; I use a xla for this and
redirect all controls' OnActions through a single procedure that serves as
an entry point to the COMAddin's procedures. It uses the appropriate calls
from within Excel to use the procedures inside the COMAddin. (No code is
in the xla other than what's required to create/remove menus/toolbars.

Curiosity, why bother making it a ComAddin if it's only going to be called
from a UI created by your xla, with Onactions to your xla. IOW simply the
xla as a wrapper to call the aX dll. You could dispense with the Connect
class altogether.
