Default Add-Ins and Multiple Users on 1 Computer

Okay. Thanks, Matt, for your responses. Happy weekend!

MB,

I do no think there is an option in Excel to activate the add-in for an
entire machine. All settings in Excel are usually user specific and do not
carry over from one user to another. Sorry.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick reply, Matt. Yes, this works for the current user, but
is there a way that the Add-in will work for all users for that computer.
We're having to activate the add-in for each individual user. Since the
add-in is stored on the local drive, can't it be activated for all users?

Thanks again, Matt.

Hi MB,

While logged in as the user who needs access to the newly installed Add-In,
you should be able to activate the add-in by choosing Add-Ins from the Tools
Menu. After you click on it you should get a list of available add-ins,
check off the Add-In you need then click OK. You should then be able to use
this Add-In for the current user

Hope this helps.

We installed an add-in while logged on as Administrator. There are multiple
profiles (users) on this computer and when a user logged in and opened Excel,
the add-in was not there.

Is there a way to have the add-in apply to all profiles?

Excel is on the local C drive, as well as the add-in.

Thank you!
