Default Changing path of button macro assignment

Jim
I gave your suggestion to the OP and it worked like a charm. I knew
there had to be a better way than the code I was thinking about writing.
Thanks for your help and for your time. Otto

Would Edit, Links, Change Source do the job?

| Excel XP & WinXP
| I am helping an OP with a rather large project he has with a client.
The
| file, say TheFile.xls, has many sheets and most of the sheets have at
least
| one button with many sheets having multiple buttons. Obviously, the
macros
| assigned to the buttons are varied. All the macros are contained in
another
| file, "XX Personal.xls".
| The problem comes about when he copies his file (TheFile.xls) from
his
| computer and takes it and installs it into his client's computer. The
| problem is that Excel maintains the path to the assigned macro (for each
| button) as that path that was valid in the OP's computer. Obviously,
that
| path has to be changed. Please note that the file name in the path
remains
| constant (XX Personal.xls). The macro name changes for each button.
| One way that I see to make the necessary path change is to write &
run
a
| macro that loops through all the buttons on each sheet, looks at the
path
| assignment for each button, searches for the constant file name (XX
| Personal.xls), notes the macro name that follows in the path, and
changes
| the total path to that file name (XX Personal.xls) and macro name.
| My question is: Is there a better way to do this? Thanks for your
help.
