I have a addin that i have created using Excel 2000.
Within this addin,
there is a user defined function, it returns a value.
Let us assume the
addin is in C:\MyAddin. I then open this addin. From a
blank spreadsheet,
i call the user defined funtion (Insert Function). I
then save this
spreadsheet in another directory c:\MyReport. If i shut
the report down and
re-open is from c:\MyReport, i get prompted to re-
establish links. How can
i avoid this problem. It only seems to work if the my
custom addin and
report reside in the same directory. <

I don't think there's any way to avoid this problem
(unless maybe if your
function is a DLL instead of VBA). What you're seeing is
standard behavior
for an add-in user defined function. Look at the cell
containing your
function (after you open the workbook without the add-in
open), and you'll
see that Excel saves the specific path to where the add-
in resided when you
entered the function. I usually advise my users to open
such a workbook by
answering No for re-establishing links and then use Edit
| Links to
explicitly change the source to the open add-in.
