Default executable to install macro into personal.xls


Hi, Excel macro noob here :)

I have the need to install a macro on some users machine (clients) an
was wondering how I could go about it. I'm thinking, detect i
personal.xls exists, and "some how" (tm) copy the contents of my ne
module into it.

Does that sound right

You can write code in a workbook that opens other workbooks and insert
modules and code.

The best way would be to write your code in an add-in and
distribute the add-in to the users.

Follow Chip's advice. Don't mess with anyone's personal.xls workbook. If
your code isn't working properly or if the user doesn't want it, it's a
pain for a user you've imposed it upon to find what's wrong and delete
your code.
