I have hundreds of spreads with the same code. Is there an easy way to
update the code in all of them, without having to manually edit each one?

It would be nice if this could be done automatically, i.e. have a
template which contains the latest code, and when a spread was opened,
the spread would look at the date when the template was changed, and if
it was changed since the last time the spread was opened, then the
spread would automatically input the new code from the template.

However, this requires a way in VBA to delete a code module and replace
it with a module from another excel file. Is this possible? Thanks. -

Should be quite simple to achieve.
Have a look at this website for starters:
