I have a complex addin that I modify frequently. I'd like to be able to
make changes while using it, and then directly save a modified addin.
I've successfully written VBA code that turns the modified addin into a
workbook, and I can save that workbook, reopen it, and then save it as
an addin. But if I try the shortcut of saving the workbook directly to
an addin using Workbook.SaveAs FileName := S FileFormat := xlAddin, the
file saved is always a workbook, not an addin, regardless of whether
filename S includes a .xla extension.

This is in Excel 2001 on a Mac running OS 10.3.3.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave Ring

a modified addin.

Just save it from the VBE - click the Save toolbutton while the add-in is
the active project. No need to save it as a workbook first.

Thanks. Didn't realize it could be that simple. But any guess why my
SaveAs addin in VBA doesn't?

Hello Dave,

ThisWorkbook.IsAddin = True (before ThisWorkbook.SaveAs)
does the job ...

It's an another approach, I haven't tried it, seems to be used for th
older versions of Office.

Good Luck,
