Probably a basic Addin question.
I have been developing a macro, with minimal (but growing) knowledge of
visual basic. I found that if I piggy backed this into a PDFwriter 'macro' (turned out to be a XLA addin). The macro I was creating would work on any sheet I opened. This was great, exactly what I needed... I really don't want to piggyback anymore though. I created my XLA, and put it in the XLStart folder (like the PDF one was). And now any sheet I open, my macro (or maybe project is a better word) is there in visual basic. But the system does not seem to know about it, when I try to run it, only gives me a create option. What am I missing? |

how are you trying to run it. Are you using the correct workbook name (has
the name changed for XLS to XLA?). I don't understand what a "create option" is. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy " wrote: I have been developing a macro, with minimal (but growing) knowledge of visual basic.

oops I think I just realized what I did wrong. I named the module AND
the function the same thing. When I changed the names to be different it is now working correctly.. at least as far as that problem. Tom Ogilvy wrote: how are you trying to run it.
