Calling Add-In subroutines from other modules
I have a bunch of common subroutines that I have placed in an Add-In module. This module is available whenever I open Excel, but I cannot reference the subroutines in the Add-In module, from other workbook modules. How is this done?

Tom, I do have the add-in, and I can see it in the
project list with any workbook i open. However, if I try to call a subroutine that is in the Add-In, FROM another workbook module, it doesn't find the routine. If I copy that routine into the workbook module I am calling from, it works fine.

I understand and if you create a reference to the addin as I described, then
it will find the routine. If you don't want to create the reference, then use application.Run see help for details. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "sclark" wrote in message ...

Tom, Thanks for the reply. I will try that. I misunderstood, thinking that I had already referenced the module as an Add-In.

Still don't get it. The addin (my custom Add-In) which is visible in the project window for ANY workbook I have open, is not in the list of references, so I cannot select it via Tools/References menu. I can try the application run as well. Any thoughts

Steve,
With the add-in loaded in VBA, go to the Tools menu and choose VBA Project Properties. In that dialog, give the project a unique name, like "MyAddInProject" or something. Then, open workbook which will reference the add-in project. Go to the Tools menu, choose References, and put a check next to the add-in's project (not file) name. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "sclark" wrote in message ...
