Default Macro accessible to all users


I have a workbook with a 'Switchboard' page with links to all of the
worksheets in the workbook. I have created a macro that takes me back to
the
Switchboard and added it to an icon on the menu bar. Every month I have to
change the name of the workbook, which messes up the macro. Also, when
someone else accesses the workbook from their computer, the macro doesn't
work and the icon doesn't appear.

this is the macro:

Sub Menu()
'
' Menu Macro
' Macro recorded 8/21/2008 by Goodyear
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+m
'
Sheets("MENU").Select
End Sub

1. When you add an item to the menu bar, Excel saves that in your
Excelxx.xlb file.

This file is not available to other users.

2. Create the menu item from code in the workbook, which stays with the
workbook.

To get an idea of the how-to for that see Debra Dalgleish's site.
