Templates in Add-in
Hello,
I am learning VBA and I just created several templates/forms (sheets) that I saved into an Add-in. The Add-in creates automatically a menu item and I would like to be able to call the templates (sheets) saved in the Add-in from this menu. How can I do that? What would be the command to execute? Thank you. Eric |

Templates in Add-in
Tom,
The command does not work (doesn't do anything, not even an error) but maybe I wasn't clear enough. My Add-in had 2 sheets called test1 and test2. The Add-in is not opened but just "loaded" through Tools / Add-ins .... Once loaded the Add-in creates a menu. I'd like to be able to create automatically a new workbook with a new sheet based on (copied from) test1 or test2 from the loaded Add-in. Thank you again.

Templates in Add-in
Still does not work, and no, the sheet is visible.
How does the command know that the sheet is coming from the Add-in? Here's what I have so far: With cbMenu.Controls.Add(msoControlButton, 1, , , True) .Caption = "Test template" .OnAction = Sheets("Test1").Copy End With Thank you.

Templates in Add-in
Your OnAction must be a text string and not an executable action... something
like this... With cbMenu.Controls.Add(msoControlButton, 1, , , True) .Caption = "Test template" .OnAction = "Module1.CopySheet1" End With 'In module 1 place this code... public sub CopySheet1() sheet1.copy end sub -- HTH...

Hi Jim,
It works!! My question now is why? How does it know that sheet1 is the one in my Add-in and not the one in the current workbook for instance? Thank you. Eric "Jim Thomlinson" wrote in message ...
