Addin Help
I created some VB code and saved the file as a .XLA and put it in the right directory for addins. Now, when i open excel, the macro is not available. How can i make my macro available to run anytime I open excel? -- alexm999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alexm999's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4918 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564546 |

What do you consider the "right" directory for add-ins?
Office\Library is the default folder for add-ins. Excel sees them in there. In ToolsAdd-ins browse to where you stored the add-in and d-click on the add-in.

And you can put those addins in any drive/folder you want.
You can click on the Browse button in Tools|Addins to install any addin from any location. This is nice when your folder is on a network drive and the addin is shared with lots of people. alexm999 wrote: I created some VB code and saved the file as a .XLA and put it in the right directory for addins.

OK, I'm almost there. I cannot get the macro to run when I open a brand new excel sheet. What am I doing wrong? -- alexm999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alexm999's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4918 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564546 |

If you want the macro to run each time you open an existing workbook (or create
a new workbook), you'll need an application event. See Chip Pearson's site: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/AppEvent.htm alexm999 wrote: OK, I'm almost there.
