How to open Excel file from PowerPoint?
Office XP
From a macro in PowerPoint, I open an Excel file I want to work with. I use: Excel.Workbooks.Open FileName:= _ "C:\Whatever.xls" Excel.Application.Visible = True Excel and the file open, but I don't have access to my Excel addins. Their commands no longer appear in the Tools menu. (For example, Bovey's CodeCleaner.) However, the addins show as installed and loaded. How can I open the Excel file from PowerPoint with addins intact? Is there anything else I should know about opening Excel from PowerPoint? Thank you. |

How to open Excel file from PowerPoint?
I think you have to load them all manually when using automation, so you
need to open them as any other Excel file. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Bob H" wrote in message ...

Yes
This was suggested by KeepItCool and should work: code from KeepItCool (Oct 21, 2004) Sub LoadXLwithAddins() Dim xl As Object Dim ai As Object Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application") For Each ai In Application.AddIns If ai.Installed Then xl.Workbooks.Open(ai.FullName).RunAutoMacros 1 End If Next xl.Visible = True Set xl = Nothing End Sub -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...

How to open Excel file from PowerPoint?
Thanks Ron (and KeepItCool).
It choked several times when I first ran it. I changed Application.Addins to xl.AddIns and it got past that line, but still errored (1004) when trying to open the addin. I disabled the Excel 10.0 Object library in PPT, and it continued to crash, but after a few runs, it miraculasly started working. So, it works now is the bottom line. Thanks again.
