Angus, save the macro to your personal.xls file, it will be available to all
workbooks then. -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!

I want to deploy this as part of a software package.
I have looked at Add-in and wondered if this was the way to go? I am not sure the personal.xls route would be the easiest to deploy as a package. Anyone any comments?

My preference is an Add-in. Easiest to use and does not interfere with users' existing Personal.xls. Also Functions can be called directly without prefacing with the workbook name. i.e. =MyFunction(a1) as opposed to =Personal.xls!MyFunction(a1) Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Thu, 18 Dec 2003 22:24:50 -0000, "Angus Comber" wrote: I want to deploy this as part of a software package.
