With much help I've a routine which will take a 'tagged'
workbook and sort it accordingly....that's to say, the user works manually through the book, assigning 'tags' (eg A, or Z, or A1, or A99 etc) to their relevent data. They then save the book and run the routine on it. During the routine, they are presented with a listbox where col1 displays the sorted unique 'tags'. First time through the book, col2 in the listbox is empty, and they manually enter each 'real' value that the 'tag' represents into col2. I currently save the col1/col2 values to a new sheet in the book (sheetname is "DataStore"), and for later runs through that book, the user can opt to load col2 in the listbox from "DataStore" rather than type in every same value again. With each run, "DataStore" is updated with any new col1/col2 entries. The use of "DataStore" in the user's book is ideal to let them review the library outside of any operating code but its' existence at runtime means that I'm going to have to work through every routine to explicitly exclude that sheet from code........Or As the user develops it, I see "DataStore" becoming a single, common 'library' which they would use/update, continually referring to it. It would be common to workbooks across several projects. Thus during the routine to sort the tagged items they would almost always default to it. What I would like to do, is to i) display "DataStore" alongside the tagged listbox, at the appropriate point in the routine, so that user can see the tags, against the 'library' items represented by "DataStore" ii) Maintain "DataStore" somewhere outside the user's workbook, but where they can update it manually without code. For ii) I could place it in a sheet in the addin's workbook and then a menu item for user to updata "DataStore"? Sorry it's long-winded. Any help/advice is much appreciated.
