Default Using macros in an external worksheet

Thx - that's what I've been looking for.

I would save the file as an addin so the workbook will be hidden when it opens.

But then I'd have to give the users (myself???) some way of running those
procedures.

For additions to the worksheet menu bar, I really like the way John Walkenbach
does it in his menumaker workbook:

Here's how I do it when I want a toolbar:

If you're going to save this addin with others and you have UDF's called from
cells in a worksheet, then I'd save the addin (DCH3Utils.xla) in a common
location -- a shared folder and tell the users to install the addin using the
UNC path name (not a mapped letter).

If that's not possible, then I'd tell the users to save it to the same folder
name:

C:\MyAddins\dch3utils.xla

Then tools|addins|browse and install it from there.

What is the best way to setup Excel if I need to access macros in an external
worksheet and run them in a variety of worksheets? I tried saving them in a
.xls worksheet and then setup Excel to open the worksheet when the app opens,
but the worksheet is always displayed. Should I save the worksheet as a *.xla
and then add it as an add-in?
