NOT WORKING..Getting XLA files to work with Excel
 

I wrote a program and then saved it as an XLA file in order to use it as an
Add-In so it can be used for any spreadsheet. For some reason, it is not
working for me and I thought things should be a whole lot easier. What is
the problem here and what is a step by step process in order for me to get it
to work. Somebody please help me because I really need the help. Thanks!

could you be a little more specific, what did you write it to do, and what is
it not doing and what is it doing?

NOT WORKING..Getting XLA files to work with Excel
 

I wrote a VBA program to format text and then export a txt file with
information formatted in a certain way. My problem is I tried to install the
XLA file, i think I did, I saw that I was able to see it on the Add-In list.
Then I tried to use it on a brand new spreadsheet to test it. Long and
behold, I cannot use it because I don't know how to find it in order to use
it. How do I activate it and how do I get it to work without opening up the
old file that has all the code. This is a REAL PAIN IN THE REAR. This is
the worst I have seen in usability with Microsoft.

you always have to programm accesibility into your .xla add-ins THEY ARE NOT
REGULAR WORKBOOKS and you can not access the macros the same way, I reccomend
going into your add-in programming and adding a liine similar to this
in the workbook open even

private sub workbook_open()
application.onkey "^{j}","MyAddIn.xla!MyMacro"
end sub
this will assign your macro to ctl+j


then in close event
to restore ctl + j to normal function


private sub workbook_cancel()
application.onkey "^{j}",""
end sub

Ben,
So I always have to program functionality into my Excel Add-In in order to
access it and get it to work? So I don't add any code functionality in the
new workbook, I have to add code into the XLA right?

yes if you add it into the xla you will not have to add it into the brand new
workbook, that is the point of an add-in ;)

My two cents ...

1.

Use the following Sub to discover where to store your xla :

Sub test()
MsgBox Application.TemplatesPath
end sub

Then one directory above look for an addin folder. Put your add in
there

2.

Once you've stored the addin into the right folder you must register it
with Excel.

From Excel go :

Tools-Addins

Check your add in to register it with Excel

3. I deal with the addin/not same workbook problem by opening a
template (or a workbook that's going to have the data) and then
accessing it as a variable


Sub LoadTemplateOrWorkbook
Dim book as Workbook
Set book = Workbooks.Open(Application.TemplatesPath +
"SomeTemplate.xlt")
book.Sheets("Somesheet").Visible = True ' Whatever just to show how to
access a sheeet
DoYourMacroHavingWorkbookArgument book
End Sub

Sure, what is your email address and I will email it to you?

1.

Use the following Sub to discover where to store your xla :

Sub test()
MsgBox Application.TemplatesPath
end sub

Then one directory above look for an addin folder. Put your add in
there

2.

Once you've stored the addin into the right folder you must register it
with Excel.

From Excel go :

Tools-Addins

Check your add in to register it with Excel

3. I deal with the addin/not same workbook problem by opening a
template (or a workbook that's going to have the data) and then
accessing it as a variable


Sub LoadTemplateOrWorkbook
Dim book as Workbook
Set book = Workbooks.Open(Application.TemplatesPath +
"SomeTemplate.xlt")
book.Sheets("Somesheet").Visible = True ' Whatever just to show how to
access a sheeet
DoYourMacroHavingWorkbookArgument book
End Sub

you always have to programm accesibility into your .xla add-ins THEY ARE NOT
REGULAR WORKBOOKS and you can not access the macros the same way, I reccomend
going into your add-in programming and adding a liine similar to this
in the workbook open even

private sub workbook_open()
application.onkey "^{j}","MyAddIn.xla!MyMacro"
end sub
this will assign your macro to ctl+j


then in close event
to restore ctl + j to normal function

it. How do I activate it and how do I get it to work without opening up the

the worst I have seen in usability with Microsoft.
