Default SHARING MACROS VIA ADD-IN (.xla) FILE


Why do you recommend not to store .xla files in the Microsoft AddIns
folder?


Several reasons:
- the addins folder will be in different places on different systems/users,
so there will be problems with swapping workbooks between users (any
references to the xla and UDFs will point to the wrong place)
- You have lost control of the installation because you dont know where the
XLA is or how many copies there are.
- If you have any associated files that the addin references (workbooks,
help files, logs, initialisation files etc.) it is very difficult for the
addin to find them (the usual method of installing them in the same
directory or relative directory as the addin wont work)
